A diifraction grating has `5000` lines per cm. What is the grating element ?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To find the grating element of a diffraction grating with 5000 lines per cm, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the definition of grating element
The grating element (d) is defined as the distance between adjacent lines in the diffraction grating. It can be calculated using the formula:
\[
d = \frac{1}{N}
\]
where \( N \) is the number of lines per unit length.

A diffraction garating has 5,000 rulings per centimetre. What is the second order diffraction angle for violent light ( lamda = 500 nm).
Light from two sources, lambda_(1)= 623 nm and lambda_(2) = 488 nm , is incident on a diffraction grating that has 5550 "lines" // cm . What is the angular separation, lambda_(1)-lambda_(2) of the second order maxima of the two waves?
A. diffraction grating has 800 lines per mm and is illuminated normally by parallel monochromatic light of wavelengths 560 nm and 590 nm. Calculate the difference in the angular positions of the first order spectra of the two lights on th same suide of the normal.
The limits of the visible spectrum are 4000Å to 7000Å. Show that the violet of the thrid order visible spectrum overlaps the red of the second order spectrum produced by a plane diffraction grating having 15,000 lines per inch, when visible light is incident normally on the granting.
A beam of monochromatic light of wavelength lambda falls normally on a diffraction grating of line spacing d. If theta is the angle between the second-order diffracted beam and the direction of the incident light, what is the value of sin theta ?
