    First-Order Spectrum Width for Diffraction Grating

    White light containing wavelengths from 405 nm to 760 nm falls on a grating with 7510 lines/ cm. How wide is the first-order spectrum on a screen 2.29 m away? Is this correct sin theta= (1)*(4.05e-7m)/(1.33e-6m)= 0.305 theta=17.8 location= 2x(tan 17.8)= (2*2.29)*0.321=1.47m sin theta=...

    Diffraction grating of white light

    White light containing wavelengths from 405 nm to 760 nm falls on a grating with 7510 lines/ cm. How wide is the first-order spectrum on a screen 2.29 m away? I'm not sure the way this question is worked out, but what I have so far is sin(theta)=[m*Lambda+ m*Lambda]/d d=1/7510cm=1.33e-6m...

    Calculating Min. D for .6nm Wavelength Difference & 1cm Diffraction Grating

    Consider two wavelengths that differ by .6nm and a 1cm diffraction grating that has 105 slits. How great must D (dist. to detector) be in order to resolve these wavelengths from a source containing them at better than ΔY=0.1mm? From the intensity equation, I find that a maximum will...

    Exploring QED: A DIY Diffraction Grating Experiment for a Physics Presentation

    Hello, I have purchased, read, and understood the concepts in Feynman's book QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. I would like to reproduce the diffraction grating experiment (on pg. 50 for those who have it) for a physics presentation at school in order to prove that light doesn't...
