For your science fair project you need to design a diffraction grating that will disperse the visible spectrum 400-700nmover30.0 in first order.
a How many lines per millimeter does your grating need?
bWhat is the first-order diffraction angle of light from a sodium lamp =589nm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a

aThe lines per mm needed for grating isn=1231.

Part b

bThe angle of light from sodium lamp is1=46.5.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Equating equation: (part a)

In diffraction grating,has

dsin1=

The small angle at each wavelength as

localid="1649135282502" dsin()=400nmdsin+30=700nmsin()sin+30=47sin()=47sin+30

02

Step: 2 Finding angle: (part a)

By trignomentry,

sin(a+b)=sinacosb+cosasinb74sin=sincos30+cossin3074sin=32sin+cos27432sin=cos20.884sin=cos2sincos=tan=120.884=tan1120.884=29.5.

03

Step: 3 Calculating numbers: (part a)

Calculating distance and numbers by

d=400nmsin29.5d=812.3nmd=812.3106mm.n=1812.3106mmn=1231.

04

Step: 4 Angle of light in sodium lamp: (part b) 

The angle of fringe for any wavelength

Optical computers require microscopic optical switches to turn signals on and off. One device for doing so, which can be implemented in an integrated circuit, is the Mach-Zender interferometer seen in FIGURE. Light from an on-chip infrared laser (=1.000m)is split into two waves that travel equal distances around the arms of the interferometer. One arm passes through an electro-optic crystal, a transparent material that can change its index of refraction in response to an applied voltage. Suppose both arms are exactly the same length and the crystal鈥檚 index of refraction with no applied voltage is1.522.

a. With no voltage applied, is the output bright (switch closed, optical signal passing through) or dark (switch open, no signal)? Explain.

b. What is the first index of refraction of the electro-optic crystal larger than 1.522that changes the optical switch to the state opposite the state you found in part a?

Light of wavelength550nm illuminates a double slit, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen. At the position of the m=2 bright fringe, how much farther is it to the more distant slit than to the nearer slit?

FIGURE Q33.5 shows the light intensity on a viewing screen behind a single slit of width a The light's wavelength is. Is<a,=a,>a, or is it not possible to tell? Explain

A double slit is illuminated simultaneously with orange light of wavelength 620nm and light of an unknown wavelength. The m=4 bright fringe of the unknown wavelength overlaps the m=3 bright orange fringe. What is the unknown wavelength?

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. A brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. A laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. In order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0kmin diameter. Staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large diameter laser. If =532nm, what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? The earth-moon distance is384,000km.
