Question

Transcribed Image Text:White light is passed through a diffraction grating with slit spacing of 0.04 mm
causing the light to split up into a rainbow on the screen.
m = 1
m = 0
If the color you are interested in appears at a diffraction angle of 0 = 0.6
degrees what is the the wavelength of that color in nanometers?

Transcribed Image Text:Would light of a shorter wavelength hit the screen above or below the point
marked for the m = 1 point marked in the figure?
What color(s) of light will reach m = 0 on the screen?
