Question about Defraction Grating??monochromatic light?
A) What kind of pattern of light would you get if you shone monochromatic light on a diffraction grating??
What pattern of light would you get if you shone white light on a diffraction grating?
B) Is it correct to say that the difference in the patterns produced by monochromatic and white light is caused by the fact that monochromatic light waves interere with each other when they pass through a diffraction grating, while the rays of white light do not? Yes , no and why?
None...
I took a shot..so this is my guess
A) There would be an interference pattern (light,dark,light,dark).If white light was shone it would aslo be a interference pattern
B) No, because both monochromatic light and white light are of single frequency...thats what i got...the Beginning of B tells me that I am completely wrong...please help me out...
