A diffraction grating with 270 lines per mm is used in an experiment to study the visible spectrum of a gas discharge tube. 1. At what angle from the beam axis will the fourth order peak occur if the tube emits light with wavelength of 665.0 nm?2. At what angle will the second order peak occur?

1) θ = 45.91°

2) θ = 21.04°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 665 nm = 6.65 × 10^(-7) m.

Distance between slits; d = 1mm/270 = 1/270 mm = (1/270) × 10^(-3) m

1) To find the angle, we will use the formula;

d sin θ = mλ

Where m is the order of peak which in this question is 4.

Thus, we have;

sin θ = mλ/d

sin θ = (4 × 6.65 × 10^(-7))/((1/270) × 10^(-3))

sin θ = 0.7183

θ = sin^(-1) 0.7183

θ = 45.91°

2) Similarly, d sin θ = mλ

Where m is the order of peak which in this question is 2. Thus;

sin θ = (2 × 6.65 × 10^(-7))/((1/270) × 10^(-3))

sin θ = 0.3591

θ = sin^(-1) 0.3591

θ = 21.04°

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
