You are comparing two diffraction gratings using two different lasers: a green laser and a red laser. You do these two experimen

ts
1. Shining the green laser through grating A you see the first maximum 1 meter away from the center
2. Shining the red laser through grating B, you see the first maximum 1 meter away from the center

In both cases, the gratings are the same distance from the screen.

(a) What can you deduce about the gratings?
(b) What would you observe if you shone the green laser through grating B:?

a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center
b. (a) grating B has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center
c.(a) grating B has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum more than 1 meter away from the center
d. (a) grating B has more lines/mm: (b) the first maximum 1 meter away from the center
e. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum more than 1 meter away from the center
f. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum 1 meter away from the center

Answer:

a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center

Explanation:

Let  n₁ and n₂ be no of lines per unit length  of grating A and B respectively.

λ₁ and λ₂ be wave lengths of green and red respectively , D be distance of screen and d₁ and d₂ be distance between two slits of grating A and B ,

Distance of first maxima for green light

= λ₁ D/ d₁

Distance of first maxima for red light

= λ₂ D/ d₂

Given that

λ₁ D/ d₁ = λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ / d₁ = λ₂ / d₂

λ₁ / λ₂  = d₁ / d₂

But

λ₁  <  λ₂

d₁ < d₂

Therefore no of lines per unit length of grating A will be more because

no of lines per unit length  ∝ 1 / d

If grating B is illuminated with green light first maxima will be at distance

λ₁ D/ d₂

As λ₁ < λ₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < 1 m

In this case position of first maxima will be less than 1 meter.

Option a is correct .

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
ki77a [65]
To answer that question, we don't care what the highest and lowest
levels of the wave are, or how far apart they are.  We only need to be
able to identify the highest point on the wave, and keep track of how
often those pass by us.

You said it takes 4 seconds for a complete wave to pass by.
Through the sheer power of intellect, I'm able to take that information
and calculate that  1/4  of the wave passes by in 1 second.

There's your frequency . . .  1/4 per second, or  0.25 Hz.
