A diffraction grating has `1.26xx10^(4)` rulings uniformly spaced over width w=25.4 mm. It is illuminated at normal incidence by blue light of wavelength 450 nm At what angles to the central axis do the second order maxima occur

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The grafting spacing d is
`d=w/N=(25.4xx10^(-3))/(1.26xx10^(4))=20.16xx10^(-6)m=2016nm`
The second order maxima corresponds to `n=2`
For `lambda=450nm` we have
`d sin theta=2lambda rArr theta=sin^(-1)((2lambda)/d)`
`rArrtheta=sin^(-1)((2xx450xx10^(-9))/(2.016xx10^(-6)))`
`:.Angle theta approx 27^(@)`
