Question
In a diffraction experiment the 1st order light (m = 1) from a diffraction grating is falling onto a single slit (see picture below). The light from the slit is then observed on a second screen and the measured width of the central diffraction peak is found to be 8 mm. Calculate the number of lines per millimetres of the grating. The distance from the slit to the second screen is 1.37 m, the distance from the diffraction grating to the screen with the slit is 5 m, the slit width is 0.25 mm and the distance from the middle of the screen with the slit to the slit is 10 mm..

- The phenomenon of diffraction occurs due to the tendency of waves to spread when they encounter an opening or obstacle. Single-slit diffraction is a phenomenon observed when a wave passes through a narrow opening, such as a slit, and spreads out after passing through it. The degree of diffraction depends on the dimensions of the aperture in relation to the wavelength of the incident wave. Statement: A slit of width a is illuminated with white light. For what value of slit width will we have the first minimum for blue light, with ? = 450 ??, appearing at ? = 25th?

- In the process of performing an analysis, you determine that you need to improve the precision by limiting the error in the absorbance to 9.400 x 10%. You attempt to achieve this by reducing the amount of stray light that reaches the detector. What is the maximum amount of stray light that can reach the detector that will limit the error in the absorbance to 9.400 x 10 for a true absorbance of 1.0000000? s= 222 x10-5 Incorrectarrow_forwardBabinet's principle says that the diffraction pattern observed when light falls on an aperture of any shape is the same as that obtained when light falls on an object that is the complement of such aperture. A laser with a wavelength of 600 nm is incident on a hair, generating a diffraction pattern with a width of the principal maximum of 10 mm on a screen located 1 m away from the hair. What is the diameter of this wire?arrow_forwardThe single slit experiment was carried out using light having a wavelength of 500 nm, perpendicular to the 5 µm wide slit.

The fringes are formed on a screen which is situated at a distance D >> d.Write down an expression for the fringe width w. Please use "*" for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. Use "lambda" (without the quotes) for 1 in the equation box. For example, use d*lambda for d2.
