White light is spread out into its spectral components by a diffraction grating. If the grating has 1975 lines per centimeter, at what angle does red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first-order spectrum? (Assume that the light is incident normally on the grating.)

Respuesta :

The angle of the red light is mathematically given as

[tex]\theta = 7.24 \textdegree[/tex]

What angle does red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in the first-order spectrum?

Generally, the equation for the grating element is  mathematically given as

d= 1 / N

Therefore

d= 1/1965

d= 5.089 * 10^{-6} m

Generally, the equation for the  differential formula is  mathematically given as

[tex]d sin \theta = m\lambda[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]sin \theta = \lambda / d[/tex]

[tex]sin \theta= (640 * 10 ^ {-9} m)/(5.089 * 10 ^ {-6} m)[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 7.24 \textdegree[/tex]

In conclusion, The angle of the red light

[tex]\theta = 7.24 \textdegree[/tex]
