A laser beam of wavelength 580nm is incident normally on a transmission grating having 440lines/mm .
Find the angles of deviation in the first, second, and third orders of bright spots.
diffracion grating principle maxima
sin? = m ? / d
Given
wave length of laser light ? = 580 nm
d = 1 / 440 * 10^ -3 m
= 2.273*10^ -6 m
angle of deviation for first order
sin ? = ? / d
= 580 *10^ -9 / 2.273*10^ -6
= 0.255
? = 14.78 degrees
angle of deviation for second order
sin ? = 2? / d
= 2* 580 *10^ -9 / 2.273*10^ -6
= 0.510
? = 30.69 degrees
angle of deviation for third order
sin ? = 3 ? / d
= 3 *580 *10^ -9 / 2.273*10^ -6
= 0.7665
? =49.95 degrees
