Perhaps to confuse a predator, some tropical gyrinid beetles(whirligig beetles) are colored by optical interference that is duet

o scales whose alignment forms a diffraction grating (whichscatters light instead of transmitting it). When the incident lightrays are perpendicular to the grating, the angle between thefirst-order maxima (on opposite sides of the zeroth-order maximum)is about 30° in light with a wavelength of 589 nm. What is thegrating spacing of the beetle?

Answer:

The grating spacing of the beetle is 1.078*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is relate to interference effect given in the Young's Slits. Here was demonstrated that the length of the side labelled \lambda is known as the path difference. The equation is given by,

n\lambda = dsin\theta

Where,

\lambda= wavelenght of light

N = a positive integer: 1,2,3...

\theta = Angle from the center of the wall to the dark spot

d= width of the slit

Replacing our values we have that for n=1,

dsin\theta = n\lambda

dsin(30)=(1)(539*10^{-9})

d=1.078*10^{-6}m

Therefore the grating spacing of the beetle is 1.078*10^{-6}m

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Curves around objects

Explanation:

Diffraction is a property of light described by bending of light around an object. This ability of light to bend around edges has facilitated optical effects of light where there is interference of light waves. Other properties of light are: reflection, refraction, polarization, scattering of light, and interference of light.
