Which of the following changes would increase the seperation between the bright fringes in the diffraction pattern formed by diffraction grating?
A. INCREASE THE WAVELENGTH OF THE LIGHT
B. IMMERSE THE APPARATUSE IN WATER
C. INCREASE THE SEPERATION BETWEEN THE SLITS
D. NONE OF THESE
E. MORE THAN ONE OF THESE
The equation for diffraction grating to use here is
dsinθ = mλ
so, sinθ = mλ/d
The spacing gets wider for greater values of sinθ.
Therefore, for sinθ to increase, wavelength would have to increase or spacing decrease
Answer A works, increase the wavelength
Answer B fails, when you immerse in water, the velocity of the waves decreases, and thus the wavelength
Answer C fails, its the opposite
Therefore you can see that D and E fail as well
The only answer is A

For a like, provide both mathematical and written explanations of the answer to each part. Diffraction Gratings Consider a light with wavelength, of 800nm hitting a transmission diffraction grating with 1200 slits/mm. a. What is the spacing between individual slits in the diffraction grating? b. Draw this in a diagram of this situation. Note: Bright Fringes that diffract at an angle > 90 degrees will never hit the viewing screen, no matter how wide it is. c. Use this fact...
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...
A diffraction experiment involving two thin parallel slits yields the pattern of closely spaced bright and dark fringes shown in the following figure. Only the central portion of the pattern is shown in the figure. The bright spots are equally spaced at d = 1.57 mm center to center (except for the missing spots) on a screen 2.15 m from the slits. The light source was a He-Ne laser producing a wavelength of 632.8 nm. (a) How far apart are...
In a double-slit interference experiment the slit separation is 8.40 x 10-6 m and the slits are 2.80 m from the screen. Each slit has a width of 1.20 x 10-6 m. a) An interference pattern is formed when light with a wavelength of 450 nm is shined on the slits. How far (in meters) from the center of the interference pattern on the screen do the third order (m = 3) bright fringes occur? (1.5 pts) b) If a...

4 The green interference fringes (bright spots) shown in the picture on the right are produced on a screen by putting a green laser beam with a wavelength of 550 nm through two identical slits. The scale of the distance along the screen is shown at the top of the figure. S28 d sin e mA sin m-1, y-3cm A. A student group decides that if they know the screen is 4m from the slits they can determine the spacing...
