Figure 36-46 is a graph of intensity versus angular positionfor the diffraction of an x-ray beam by a crystal. The horizontal scale is set byθs=2.00°.The beam consists of two wavelengths, and the spacing between the reflecting planes is0.94nm. What are the (a) shorter and (b) longer wavelengths in the beam?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The shorter wavelength in the beam is,λ1=25 pm .

(b) The longer wavelength in the beam is,λ2=38 pm .

Step by step solution

01

Introduction of diffraction

Diffraction is a phenomena in which the interference or the bending of waves occurs around the corners of the opening or obstacle through or on which it strikes.

The diffraction formula is following,

²Ôλ=2»å²õ¾±²Ôθλ=wavelengthd=spacingθ=bragg anglen=order of diffraction

Step 2: Identification of the given data

The spacing between reflecting plans is, d=0.94 nm.

The bragg angle is, θ=2.00°.

03

 Step 3: (a) Determination of the shorter Wavelength

As the graph is running from 0 degree to 2 degrees the shortest wavelength wave is present at around the 0.75 degrees.

So putting all the values we will get shortest wavelength

λ1=2dsinθ1

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

λ1=20.94 nmsin0.75°λ1=0.025 nmλ1=25 pm

Hence the is the shortest wavelength is, 25 pm.
04

(b) Determination of the longer wavelength

As the graph is running from 0 degree to 2 degrees the longest wavelength wave is present at around the 1.15 degrees.

So putting all the values we will get longest wavelength

λ2=2dsinθ2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

λ2=20.94 nmsin1.15°λ2=0.038 nmλ2=38 pm

Hence the longest wavelength is,38 pm .

For three experiments, Fig. 36-31 gives αversus angle θ in one-slit diffraction using light of wavelength 500 nm. Rank the experiments according to (a) the slit widths and (b) the total number of diffraction minima in the pattern, greatest first.

The wings of tiger beetles (Fig. 36-41) are coloured by interference due to thin cuticle-like layers. In addition, these layers are arranged in patches that are 60μm across and produce different colours. The colour you see is a pointillistic mixture of thin-film interference colours that varies with perspective. Approximately what viewing distance from a wing puts you at the limit of resolving the different coloured patches according to Rayleigh’s criterion? Use 550nm as the wavelength of light and 3.00nm as the diameter of your pupil.
