A diffraction grating is made up of silts of width 300 nm with separation 900 nm. The grating is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves of wavelength=600nm at normal incidence. (a) How many maxima are there in the full diffraction pattern? (b) What is the angular width of a spectral line observed in the first order if the grating has 1000 slits?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) There are three maxima that can be seen in the full diffraction pattern having m=0,1.

b) The angular width of a spectral line observed in the first order is 0.051.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

The wavelength of light,=600nm

The width of silts is 300 mm

The separation of silts,d=900nm

The number of silts is N=1000.

02

The condition of the diffraction grating

The condition of the diffraction grating is:

dsin=m

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

03

To find the number of maxima in the full diffraction pattern(a)

To find the greatest value of m for the maxima, the equation is given by 鈥

dsin=m<d

Therefore,

m<dm<900nm600nm=1.5

So, m=1.

Thus, there are three maxima that can be seen in the full diffraction pattern having m=0,1.

04

To find the angular width of a spectral line observed in the first order(b)

The half-width of the lines is given by 鈥
hw=Ndcos=dsinNdcos=tanN=1Ntansin-1d

Substitute all the value in the above equation. For N=1000, =600nm and d=900nm.

role="math" localid="1663310103256" hw=11000tansin-1600nm900nm=8.94410-4rad=8.94410-4rad1800rad=0.051

Thus,the angular width of a spectral line observed in the first order is 0.051.

(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 ?

When monochromatic light is incident on a slit 22.0 m wide, the first diffraction minimum lies at 1.80掳 from the direction of the incident light. What is the wavelength?

With a particular grating the sodium doublet (589.00 nm and 589.59 nm) is viewed in the third order at 10 to the normal and is barely resolved. Find (a) the grating spacing and (b) the total width of the rulings.

(a) What is the angular separation of two stars if their images are barely resolved by the Thaw refracting telescope at the Allegheny Observatory in Pittsburgh? The lens diameter is 76 cm and its focal length is 14 m. Assume =550nm. (b) Find the distance between these barely resolved stars if each of them is 10 light-years distant from Earth. (c) For the image of a single star in this telescope, find the diameter of the first dark ring in the diffraction pattern, as measured on a photographic plate placed at the focal plane of the telescope lens. Assume that the structure of the image is associated entirely with diffraction at the lens aperture and not with lens 鈥渆rrors.鈥

At night many people see rings (called entoptic halos) surrounding bright outdoor lamps in otherwise dark surroundings. The rings are the first of the side maxima in diffraction patterns produced by structures that are thought to be within the cornea (or possible the lens) of the observer鈥檚 eye. (The central maxima of such patterns overlap the lamp.) (a) Would a particular ring become smaller or larger if the lamp were switched from blue to red light? (b) If a lamp emits white light, is blue or red on the outside edge of the ring?
