Concept explainers
The maximum number of lines per cm for the grating.
Answer to Problem 35P
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Number of grating per unit length,N=6000 lines
Wavelength,
Formula used:
It is known that
Where,
m is an integer
λ is wavelength
d is distance between slits
Calculation:
In constructive interference, path difference is an integer multiple of wavelength.
Rearrange the given formula
Because the angle increases with wavelength, to have a full order, use the largest wavelength.
So, the maximum Angle,
Now, calculate the minimum separation from by using d
Now, calculate the maximum number of lines per cm:
Conclusion:
The required value is
