A 1.0-cm-wide diffraction grating has 1000 slits. It is illuminated by light of wavelength 550 nm. What are the angles of the first two diffraction orders?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Angles of the first two diffraction orders are [tex]3.152^0 , 6.324^0[/tex]

Explanation:

Number of slit N=1000

wavelength [tex]\lambda=550 nm[/tex]

width of diffraction grating = 1 cm

Distance between the any two adjacent slit is

[tex]d=\frac0{1}{N} \\d=\frac{1\times 10^{-2}}{1000} =10^{-5} m[/tex]

angle of nth fringe is given by

[tex]sin\theta_{n}=\frac{n\lambda}{d}[/tex]

for first order n=1, which is given by

[tex]sin\theta_{1}=\frac{1\lambda}{d} \\\theta_{1}=sin^{-1}(\frac{(1\times 550 \times 10^{-9})}{ 10^{-5}} )\\\theta_{1}=3.152^0[/tex]

Similarly for 2nd order

[tex]sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\times \lambda}{d} \\\theta_{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{(2\times 550 \times 10^{-9})}{ 10^{-5}} )\\\theta_{2}=6.324^0[/tex]

By using the Huygens formula, the angles of the first two orders are 6.3 degrees and 13 degrees approximately.

Given that a 1.0cm wide diffraction grating has 1000 slits.

The slit spacing = (1.0 x [tex]10^{-2}[/tex]) / 1000

The slit spacing = 1.0 x [tex]1.6^{-5}[/tex]

Also, it is given that It is illuminated by light of wavelength 550 nm

Sin∅ = nλ/d

When n = 1

Sin∅ = 550 x [tex]10^{-9}[/tex]/1.0 x [tex]10^{-5}[/tex]

Sin∅ = 0.055

∅ = [tex]Sin^{-1}[/tex] ( 0.055)

∅ = 3.152

The angle of the first order = 2∅ = 2 x 3.152 = 6.305

2∅ = 6.3 degrees approximately

When n = 2

Sin∅ = nλ/d

Sin∅ = 2 x 550 x [tex]10^{-9}[/tex]/1.0 x [tex]10^{-5}[/tex]

Sin∅ = 0.11

∅ = [tex]Sin^{-1}[/tex] ( 0.11)

∅ = 6.3153

The angle of the second order = 2∅

2∅ = 6.3153 x 2

2∅ = 13 degrees approximately

Therefore, the angles of the first two orders are 6.3 degrees and 13 degrees approximately.
