Assuming that the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 380 and 700 nm, find the angular range of the first-order visible spectrum produced by a plane grating that has 900 grooves/mm with the light incident normally on the grating.

angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 380 nm = 380 × m

wavelength λ  = 700 nm =  700 × m

to find out

angular range of the first-order

solution

we will apply here slit experiment equation that is

d sinθ = m λ    ...........1

here m is 1 for single slit and d is =

so put here value in equation 1 for 380 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

sinθ = 1 × 380 ×

θ = 0.35 rad

and for 700 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

sinθ = 1 × 700 ×

θ = 0.681 rad

so angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

answer: the correct answer id option(d).

explanation:

snell's law refraction:

the angle of refraction =

the angle of incidence =

refractive index of air = = 1

refractive index of glycerol = 1.47

from the given options, the most closest answer to 63.72° is 65° of option (d).
