The human eye can readily detect wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. Part A If white light illuminates a diffraction grating having 910 lines/mm , over what range of angles does the visible m

Answer:

The correct answer is "[tex]21.344^{\circ}[/tex]" and "[tex]39.56^{\circ}[/tex]".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Slit width,

[tex]d=\frac{1}{910 \ lines/mm}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{1}{910\times 10^3}[/tex]

  [tex]=1.099\times 10^{-6} \ m[/tex]

The condition far first order maxima will be:

⇒ [tex]d Sin \theta = 1 \lambda[/tex]

Now,

⇒ [tex]\Theta_{min} = Sin^{-1} (\frac{\lambda}{d} )[/tex]

             [tex]=Sin^{-1} (\frac{400\times 10^{-9}}{1.099\times 10^{-6}} )[/tex]

             [tex]=21.344^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\Theta_{max} = Sin^{-1} (\frac{\lambda}{d} )[/tex]

             [tex]=Sin^{-1} (\frac{700\times 10^{-9}}{1.099\times 10^{-6}} )[/tex]

             [tex]=39.56^{\circ}[/tex]
