How is light reflected from a prism​

Physics

Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength \lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So  d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

dsin\Theta =m\lambda here m is order of diffraction

So 6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}

sin\Theta =0.264

\Theta =15.32^{\circ}

Difference between inverted and upright microscope
ser-zykov [4K]
