(a) Show that the values of a at which intensity maxima for single-slit diffraction occur can be found exactly by differentiating Eq. 36-5 with respect to a and equating the result to zero, obtaining the condition tan=. To find values of a satisfying this relation, plot the curve y=迟补苍伪 and the straight line y= and then find their intersections, or use calculator to find an appropriate value of a by trial and error. Next, from =(m+12), determine the values of m associated with the maxima in the singleslit pattern. (These m values are not integers because secondary maxima do not lie exactly halfway between minima.) What are the (b) smallest and (c) associated , (d) the second smallest (e) and associated , (f) and the third smallest (g) and associated ?

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

As the intensity increases, the diffraction maximum becomes narrower as well as more intense. When you have 600 slits, the maxima are very sharp and bright and permit high-resolution separation of the maxima for different wavelengths. Such a multiple-slit is called a diffraction grating.

02

Concept

In single slit diffraction,

Intensity is given as I=Imsin22

03

(a) Determine the value of intensity maxima

Differentiating the above with respect to a ,

dId=2Imsin3cos-sin

For maxima and minimadId=0

So either

=0or sin=0or cos-sin=0

But =0so sin=0

So =m

Again, if cos-sin=0

Or tan=

Since d2Id2=tan=negative

There is a maxima at tan=.

04

(b) Determine the value of smallest

Let y=tan where y=

From the graph,

The smallest value of =0.

Hence, the value is=0.

05

(c) Determine the value of associated

As,tan=,

localid="1664272360306" =m+12

For central maximum, =0

Hence, the value is m=-12

06

(d) Determine the value of second smallest α

The second smallest =4.493rad

Hence, the value is=4.493rad.

07

(e) Determine the value of associated m

Associated m=a-12

m=0.93

Hence, the value is m=0.93

08

(f) Determine the value of third smallest α

The third smallest a=7.725rad

Hence, the value is a=7.725rad

09

(g) Determine the value of associated 

Associated m=a-12

m=1.96

Hence, the value is m=1.96
