You have a diffraction grating with 3000 lines/cm. You also have a light source that emits light at 2 different wavelengths, 428 nm and 707 nm, at the same time. The screen for your experiment is 1.5 meters from the diffraction grating.

A. What is the line spacing for the grating?

B. What is the difference in the angle of the 2nd bright fringe for each wavelength for this grating?

C. Which wavelength is closer to the center of the diffraction pattern?

D. How would the color separation be different if you used a 1200 lines/cm grating? Explain.

E. What is the width of the central maximum for each wavelength if the same light source is used to illuminate a single slit with a width of 0.054 mm?

Image a square aperture of width 149 \[Mu]m, 2775 mm away from a diffraction grating with a groove spacing of 1888 grooves/mm. You illuminate the diffraction grating by sending polychromatic light where the wavelengths are relatively close together and the average wavelength is 1037 nm through the square aperture onto the diffraction grating. What is the resolving power of the diffraction grating for second order light in this setup? (Assume the diffraction pattern is a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern.)

Green light of wavelength 500 nm passes through a diffraction grating having 10−610−6 m between lines.   How far away from the central bright spot is the next bright spot on a screen 2 m away (in meters)? Suppose the light passing through the diffraction grating is composed of many different wavelengths. Rank the following colors according to the spacing between the bright spots of that color from least to greatest, so the least would have the smallest spacing between maxima....
