Question
A physicist is calibrating a spectrometer that uses a diffraction grating to separate light in order of increasing wavelength
(?A, ?B, and ?C). She observes three distinct first-order spectral lines at the following respective angles
?m(where m denotes order). ?1 = 12.6°, ?1 = 14.0°, ?1 = 15.3°
(a) If the grating has 3,760 grooves per centimeter, what wavelength (in nm) describes each of these spectral lines?
at ?1 = 12.6° ?A= answer in nm
at ?1 = 14.0° ?B= answer in nm
at ?1 = 15.3° ?C=answer in nm
(b) At what angle (in degrees) would each of these lines be found in the second-order spectrum?
for ?A ?2 = answer in degrees°
for ?B ?2= answer in degrees°
for ?C ?2= answer in degrees°
