Chapter 37.4, Problem 37.4QQ
Ultraviolet light of wavelength 350 nm is incident on a diffraction grating with slit spacing d and forms an interference pattern on a screen a distance L away. The angular positions θbright of the interference maxima are large. The locations of the bright fringes are marked on the screen. Now red light of wavelength 700 nm is used with a diffraction grating to form another diffraction pattern on the screen. Will the bright fringes of this pattern be located at the marks on the screen if (a) the screen is moved to a distance 2L from the grating, (b) the screen is moved to a distance L/2 from the grating, (c) the grating is replaced with one of slit spacing 2d, (d) the grating is replaced with one of slit spacing d/2, or (e) nothing is changed?
