A miniature spectrometer used for chemical analysis has a diffraction grating with 800 slits/mm set 25.0 mm in front of the detector “screen.” The detector can barely distinguish two bright lines that are 30 μm apart in the first-order spectrum. What is the resolution of the spectrometer at a wavelength of600 nm? That is, if two distinct wavelengths can barely be distinguished, one of them being 600.0 nm, what is the wavelength difference Δλ between the two?

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
