A diffraction grating 20.0 mm wide has 6000 rulings. Light of wavelength 589 nm is incident perpendicularly on the grating. What are the

(a) largest,

(b) second largest,

(c) third largest values of at which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)62.1

(b)45.0

(c)32.0

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

  • The width of the diffraction grating is 20.0 mm.
  • The number of rulings = 6000.
  • The wavelength of light, =589nm .
02

The condition of the diffraction grating

The condition of the diffraction grating is:

dsin=m

Here, d is the distance between adjacent rulings and is the wavelength of light.

03

To find the largest values ofθat which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen (a)

The distance between adjacent rulings is:

d=20.006000=0.00333mm=3.33m

Now, the condition of the diffraction grating is:

dsin=m

Where, m=0,1,2,....

Now, the largest value of corresponds to m=5.

Therefore, the value of is:

=sin-1(md)=sin-1(5(0.589)m)3.33m)=62.10

Thus,the largest value ofat which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen is 62.1.

04

To find the second largest values of θ at which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen(b)

The second largest value of corresponds to m=4.

Therefore, the value of is:

=sin-1(md)=sin-1(4(0.589)m)3.33m)=45.0

Thus,the second largest value of at which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen is 45.0.

05

To find the third largest values of θ at which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen(c)

The third largest value of corresponds tom=3 .

Therefore, the value of is:

role="math" localid="1663159335558" =sin-1(md)=sin-1(3(0.589)m)3.33m)=32.0

Thus, the third largest value of at which maxima appear on a distant viewing screen is 32.

The two headlights of an approaching automobile are 1.4m apart. At what (a) angular separation and (b) maximum distance will the eye resolve them? Assume that the pupil diameter is 5.0mm, and use a wavelength of 550nm for the light. Also assume that diffraction effects alone limit the resolution so that Rayleigh鈥檚 criterion can be applied.

The pupil of a person鈥檚 eye has a diameter of 5.00 mm. According to Rayleigh鈥檚 criterion, what distance apart must two small objects be if their images are just barely resolved when they are 250 mm from the eye? Assume they are illuminated with light of wavelength 500 nm

In conventional television, signals are broadcast from towers to home receivers. Even when a receiver is not in direct view of a tower because of a hill or building, it can still intercept a signal if the signal diffracts enough around the obstacle, into the obstacle鈥檚 鈥渟hadow region.鈥 Previously, television signals had a wavelength of about 50cm, but digital television signals that are transmitted from towers have a wavelength of about 10mm. (a) Did this change in wavelength increase or decrease the diffraction of the signals into the shadow regions of obstacles? Assume that a signal passes through an opening of 5mwidth between two adjacent buildings. What is the angular spread of the central diffraction maximum (out to the first minima) for wavelengths of (b)localid="1664270683913" 50cmand (c) localid="1664270678997" 10mm?

If, in a two-slit interference pattern, there are8bright fringes within the first side peak of the diffraction envelope and diffraction minima coincide with two-slit interference maxima, then what is the ratio of slit separation to slit width?

Figure 36鈥35 shows the bright fringes that lie within the central diffraction envelope in two double-slit diffraction experiments using the same wavelength of light. Is (a) the slit width a, (b) the slit separation d, and (c) the ratio d/ain experiment B greater than, less than, or the same as those quantities in experiment A?
