What is the highest spectral order that can be seen if a grating with 6500 slits per cm is illuminated with 633-nm laser light? Assume normal incidence.
Given values: Number of slits per centimeter, Wavelength, Angle of diffraction, The phenomenon of bending of the light waves around the cornerns of obstacle is called diffraction. The condition for diffraction maximum is given by,
Where, n= Order of diffraction Wavelength of light d= Separation between the slits Angle of diffraction The number of slits per centimeter is equal to the separation between the slits. Number of slits per cm, Substituting equation
Substituting number of slits per centimeter, wavelength and angle of diffraction in equation
