Concept explainers

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

A diffraction grating is just able to resolve two lines of 1 = 5140.3 Aº and 5140.85 A° in the first
order. Will it resolve the lines 8037.50 A°º and 8037.90 Aº in the second order.
