The separation of the lines in the diffraction pattern.
Answer to Problem 23PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The wavelength of the violet light,
The distance between the slits on the diffraction grating,
The distance of the screen from the grating,
Formula used:
Where,
d is the distance between the slits.
The angle at which the first-order bright line occurs can also be written as,
Where,
x is the separation of the lines in the diffraction pattern
L is the distance between the grating and screen.
Calculation:
Now, the angle at which the first-order bright line occurs can be written as,
Then, using the given values in above,
Then, using the mentioned formula and the given values, the separation of the lines in the diffraction pattern will be,
Conclusion:
Hence, the separation of the lines in the diffraction pattern is
