The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a

parallel beam of white light in the 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength band. What is the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm=1900\times 10^{-9}m

Where 1nm=10^{-9} m

\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m

\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m

We have to find  the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

Using the formula

m=1

\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=21.62^{\circ}

Now, m=2

\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})

\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}

\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1

\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62

\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

What is Acceleration?​
earnstyle [38]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

 

To define acceleration, We need to know more about motion.

Motion: This can be defined as the change in position of a body from one point to another. When an object accelerates, it undergoes motion.

<u>Definition</u>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is meter-per-squared seconds. (m/s²)

The formula of acceleration is

  • a = (v-u)/t................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • a = acceleration
  • u = initial velocity
  • v = final velocity
  • t = time

Hence, Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

magnification = image d
