'Find the angular extension of the first-order spectrum of white light from 390 nm-78Onm incident vertically onto a diffraction grating containing 17000lines inch where Tinch = 2.54cm'
Added by Juan Luis C.
Step 1
First, we need to find the spacing between adjacent lines on the diffraction grating. We are given that the grating contains 17000 lines per inch, which means that there are 17000/2.54 = 6692.91 lines per centimeter. Therefore, the spacing between adjacent lines Show more…

A beam of white light is incident normally on a grating with 2,458 lines per cm. The grating separates the light into its component colors. What is the angular separation of the first-order red light (650 nm) and the second-order blue light (450 nm) in degrees? Enter a number with two digits behind the decimal point.

(a) White light is spread out into its spectral components by a diffraction grating. If the grating has 1,990 grooves per centimeter, at what angle (in degrees) does red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in the first order? (Assume that the light is incident normally on the grating.) (b) What if? What is the angular separation (in degrees) between the first-order maximum for 640 nm red light and the first-order maximum for yellow light of wavelength 580 nm?
