Red laser light of wavelength 650 ?? shines on a CD, which has tiny notches for each byte of information stored on the CD. You see that the distance between the 0th order bright spot and the 1st order bright spot is 26 ?? projected on the wall that is 60 ?? away from the CD.

Determine the spacing between the notches on a CD.

Determine the notches per millimeter on a CD.

You repeat the experiment with a DVD, which has a much higher data storage capacity (more notches per mm). Would you expect the 1st order bright spot to be closer or farther away from the 0th order spot for the interference pattern of the DVD?

    In the physics we have Helium-Neon lasers that produce a wavelength of 632 nm. Suppose that we have a diffraction grating that is unlabeled (so we don’t know its slit spacing) and a violet laser pointer whose wavelength we wish to determine. We then shine the Helium-Neon laser on the grating, project the diffraction pattern onto a screen that is 1.00 m from the grating and measure the positions of the diffraction maxima on the screen. Next we remove the...
