Light of wavelength 429 nm (in vacuum) is incident on a diffraction grating that has a slit separation of 1.2 × 10-5 m. The distance between the grating and the viewing screen is 0.10 m. A diffraction pattern is produced on the screen that consists of a central bright fringe and higher-order bright fringes (see the drawing). (a) Determine the distance y from the central bright fringe to the second-order bright fringe. (Hint: The diffraction angles are small enough that...
Light of wavelength 385 nm (in vacuum) is incident on a diffraction grating that has a slit separation of 1.2 × 10-5 m. The distance between the grating and the viewing screen is 0.18 m. A diffraction pattern is produced on the screen that consists of a central bright fringe and higher-order bright fringes (see the drawing). (a) Determine the distance y from the central bright fringe to the second-order bright fringe. (Hint: The diffraction angles are small enough that...
An intense monochromatic light incident on a diffraction grating with slit spacing d is causing an increase of the grating temperature. How should the frequency of the light be changed so that the position of bright fringes does not change.
An intense monochromatic light incident on a diffraction grating with slit spacing d is causing an increase of the grating temperature. How should the frequency of the light be changed so that the position of bright fringes does not change. (Consider that the thermal expansion of the diffraction grating does not damage the slits.) Select one: a. f should be increased. b. f has no effect on the position of the bright fringes. c. f should be decreased. d. f...
