Light with wavelength lambda falls on a ...

Light with wavelength `lambda` falls on a diffracting grating at right angles. Find the angular dispersion of the grating as a function of diffraction angle `theta`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have `d sin theta= k lambda`
so `(d theta)/(d lambda) = D = (k)/(d cos theta) = (tan theta)/(lambda)`
