Question

1 pt| Light with a wavelength of ? = 560 nm is incident on a diffraction grating. A screen is placed at a distance of L 2.85 m from the grating. The grating has 140 lines per millimeter. What is the distance between the m- 3 maximum and the central (i.e. zeroth order) maximum on the screen? Important note: You should not use the small angle approximation. (in m) 30.

Explanation / Answer

condition for diffraction

d sin theta = m lamda

for small angles sin theta = tan theta = y/L

d ( y/L) = m lamda

d = 1/N = 1/140/mm

= mm/140

= 10^-3 m/140

= 7.14 * 10^-6 m

d ( y3/L) = 3 lamda

y3 = 3 * lamda *l/ d

= 3 ( 560* 10^-9)(2.85)/7.14 * 10^-6 m

= 0.690 m

= 6.9 * 10^-1

option(D) is correct answer
