What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having 5000 slits/cm? Assume normal incidence.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The wavelength of light is [tex]4.53\times10^{-7}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

[tex]d \sin\theta=n\lambda[/tex].....(I)

The separation of the slits

[tex]d = \dfrac{1}{N}[/tex]

[tex]d=\dfrac{1}{5000}[/tex]

[tex]d=2\times10^{-6}\ m[/tex]

Now put the value in equation (I)

[tex]2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda[/tex]

Here, n = 1

[tex]\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m[/tex]

Hence, The wavelength of light is [tex]4.53\times10^{-7}\ m[/tex]
