Question
A grating has $5000.0$ slits per $\mathrm{cm} .$ How many orders of violet light of wavelength $412 \mathrm{~nm}$ can be observed with this grating?
Step 1
In this case, the number of slits is 5000. So, the separation (d) is given by: \[d = \frac{1 \times 10^{-2} m}{5000} = 2 \times 10^{-6} m\] Show more…
