I've been working on my Physics work when I scanned across a section and noticed something that bothered me.
The equation: d sin (thetha) = m (wavelength).
d is the separation and m is an interger.
However, it said to find the bright fringes of a double slit (Young's Double Slit Experiment), use this equation, and also to use this equation for the principal maxima of a diffraction grating.
Is there a difference? Are they just two different fancy names for finding the same thing?
Also, there's an equation I have to find: x ~ (wavelength)mL/d
x being position, m being an interger, L being distance and d being separation.
Is that related to the previous equation?
