If first-order reflection occurs in a crystal at Bragg angle3.4°, at what Bragg angle does second-order reflection occur from the same family of reflecting planes?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The angle will be 6.8 degrees.

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

02

Step 2: Identification of the given data

The bragg angle is, θ1=3.4°.

03

Determination of the Bragg angle at which second order reflection

From the given relationship of the wavelengths the angle will be,

2dsinθ22dsinθ1=2λ1λsinθ2=2sinθ1

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

sinθ2=2×sin3.4°sinθ2=0.1186θ2=sin-10.1186θ2=6.80

Hence the angle is,6.80.

A beam of light consisting of wavelengths from460.0nmto640.0nmis directed perpendicularly onto a diffraction grating with 160 lines/mm. (a) What is the lowest order that is overlapped by another order? (b) What is the highest order for which the complete wavelength range of the beam is present? In that highest order, at what angle does the light at wavelength (c)460.0nmand (d) 640.0nmappear? (e) What is the greatest angle at which the light at wavelength460.0nmappears?

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.

In a certain two-slit interference pattern, 10 bright fringes lie within the second side peak of the diffraction envelope and diffraction minima coincide with two-slit interference maxima. What is the ratio of the slit separation to the slit width?

In three arrangements, you view two closely spaced small objects that are the same large distance from you. The angles that the objects occupy in your field of view and their distances from you are the following: (1) 2ϕand ; (2) 2ϕand 2R; (3) ϕ/2and R/2. (a) Rank the arrangements according to the separation between the objects, with the greatest separation first. If you can just barely resolve the two objects in arrangement 2, can you resolve them in (b) arrangement 1 and (c) arrangement 3?

Monochromatic light (wavelength=450nm) is incident perpendicularly on a single slit (width=0.4mm). A screen is placed parallel to the slit plane, and on it the distance between the two minima on either side of the central maximum is 1.8mm.

(a) What is the distance from the slit to the screen? (Hint:The angle to either minimum is small enough thatsinθ≈tanθ.)

(b) What is the distance on the screen between the first minimum and the third minimum on the same side of the central maximum?
