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

Find the maximum number of lines per centimeter a
diffraction grating can have and produce a maximum for the
smallest wavelength of visible light. (b) Would such a grating
be useful for ultraviolet spectra? (c) For infrared spectra?
