A 3.2-cmcm-wide diffraction grating has 2100 slits. It is illuminated by light of wavelength 530 nmnm .
A. What is the angle (in degrees) of the first diffraction order?
B. What is the angle (in degrees) of the second diffraction order?
The condition of the maximums are given by grating equation
where n is the order of maxima, d is the separation between adjacent slits. Solving for angle
Given that there are 2100 slits in 3.2cm. The separation between the slits is
where we have use 1cm =10-2m.
Given
A. For the first order diffraction corresponds to n=1,
B. For the second order diffraction corresponds to n=2,
