A diffraction grating is 1.60 cm wide and contains 2700 lines. When used with light of a certain wavelength, a third-order maximum is formed at an angle of 24.0°. What is the wavelength (in nm)?
Added by Jose Francisco L.
Step 1
First, we need to find the distance between the lines (d) on the diffraction grating. We know that the grating is 1.60 cm wide and contains 2700 lines. So, we can calculate d as follows: d = (1.60 cm) / 2700 lines Show more…
