A diffraction grating is made up of slits of width 260 nm with separation 810 nm. The grating is illuminated by monochromatic pl

ane waves of wavelength λ = 550 nm at normal incidence.
a. How many maxima are there in the full diffraction pattern?
b. What is the angular width of a spectral line observed in the first order if the grating has 1300 slits?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Grafting width is 260nm

Separation is d= 810nm

Wavelength is λ = 550 nm

A. The condition for maximum grating is given as

d Sinθ = mλ

where,

λ is the wavelength

d is the operation between the two slit.

The range is Sinθ is -1 and 1

But since θ Is between 0-180°

Then, 0≤Sinθ≤1

Then, we must have d ≥ mλ

So, d/λ ≤m

Then, m ≥ d/λ

m ≥ 810/550

m ≥1.47

So, we can take m = 1

There are three maxima m = -1,0,1

b. When N = 1300.

For first order maxima m = 1

Then, d Sinθ = mλ

d Sinθ = λ

The angular width is given as.

∆θ = λ/NdCosθ, where d Sinθ = λ

∆θ = dSinθ/NdCosθ

∆θ = tanθ/N, equation 1

d Sinθ = λ

Sinθ = λ / d

θ = ArcSin(λ/d)

θ = ArcSin(550/810)

θ = 42.77°

Substituting theta into equation 1

∆θ = tanθ/N

∆θ = tan(42.77)/1000

∆θ = 0.000925rad

To degree 2πrad = 360°

∆θ = 0.000925rad × 360°/2πrad

∆θ = 0.053°

The angular width of the spectral line is observed to be 0.053°

If f(x) = -3x +4 and g(x) = 2, solve for the value of x for<br>which (fx) = g(x) is true.​
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x=-\frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

Let:

f(x)=-3x+4\\\\And\\\\g(x)=2

We need to know for which value of x the function f(x) is equal to g(x):

f(x)=g(x)

Therefore, we need to solve for the previous equation for x:

Replacing the values of f(x) and g(x):

-3x+4=2

Subtract 4 from both sides:

-3x+4-4=2-4\\\\-3x=-2

Multiply both sides by -1

-3x(-1)=-2(-1)\\\\3x=2

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \\\\x=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore the value of x for which f(x)=g(x) is x=\frac{2}{3}.

Verify the result:

-3(\frac{2}{3} )+4=2\\\\-2+4=2\\\\2=2
