If the distance between slits on a diffraction grating is 0. 50 mm and one of the angles of diffraction is 0. 25°, how large is the path difference? nm How many orders of bright lines does this equal for red light with a wavelength of 650 nm? wavelengths.

Respuesta :

The distance the wave traveled between the two-point is the path difference. The path difference will be 2200 nm and 3 orders of bright lines do this equal red light with a wavelength of 650 nm.

What is diffraction grating?

A diffraction grating is a type of optical instrument obtained with a continuous pattern. The pattern of the diffracted light by a grating depends on the structure and number of elements present.

The equation of diffraction grating is given as

[tex]\rm n\lambda=dsin\phi\\\\\rm n\lambda=0.50\times10^{-3}\times sin(0.25) \\\\ n\rm \lambda=2.18\times10^{-6} \;m \\\\\rm n\lambda=2200\;nm[/tex]

Hence the path difference will be 2200 nm.

[tex]\rm n\lambda=2200\;nm \\\\\rm n\times650=2200 \\\\\rm n=3.38[/tex]

n= 3

Hence 3 orders of bright lines do this equal red light with a wavelength of 650 nm.
