White light containing wavelengths from 410 nm to 750 nm falls on a grating with 7300 slits/cm. part a how wide is the first-order spectrum on a screen 3.60 m away?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Width of each slit d = 1 x 10⁻² / 7300

= 1.37 x 10⁻⁶ m

Distance of screen D = 3.6 m

for light of wavelength   λ   =  410 nm = 410 x 10⁻⁹ m

position of first maxima =λ D / d

= 410 x 10⁻⁹  x 3.6 / 1.37 x 10⁻⁶

= 1077.37 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.077 m

for light of wavelength   λ   =  750 nm = 750 x 10⁻⁹ m

position of first maxima =λ D / d

= 750 x 10⁻⁹  x 3.6 / 1.37 x 10⁻⁶

= 1438.54 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.438 m

width of first order spectrum = 1.438 - 1.077 m

= .361 m

36.1 cm .

The width of the first-order spectrum on a screen 3.60 m away is;

1.13 m

We are given;

Minimum wavelength; λ_min = 410 nm = 410 × 10⁻⁹ m

Maximum wavelength; λ_max = 750 nm = 750 × 10⁻⁹ m

Grating; d = 7300 slits/cm = 0.01/7300 m = 1.3699 × 10⁻⁶ m

Distance; r = 3.2 m

Let us find the angle of the first wavelength with the formula;

θ = sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

first wavelength has an order of m = 1

Thus; θ = sin⁻¹(1 * 410 × 10⁻⁹/(1.3699 × 10⁻⁶))

θ = sin⁻¹0.2993

θ₁ = 17.42°

   

For the second wavelength;  

sin θ = [(0.2993 × 750 × 10⁻⁹)/(410 × 10⁻⁹)

sin θ = 0.5475

θ = sin⁻¹0.5475  

θ₂ = 33.2°

Thus; the width of spectrum is;

3.6(tan 33.2 - tan 17.42)

width of spectrum = 1.13 m
