Asource containing a mixture of hydrogen and deuterium atoms emits light at two wavelengths whose mean is 513 nm and whose separation is 0.139 nm. find the minimum number of lines needed in a diffraction grating that can resolve these lines in the first order.

Minimum number of lines, N = 3690.64

Explanation:

Mean of wavelengths,

Smallest resolvable wavelength difference,

Resolution of diffraction grating is given by :

For first order, m = 1

N is the minimum number of lines

N = 3690.64

Hence, the minimum number of lines needed in a diffraction grating that can resolve these lines in the first order is 3690.64. Hence, this is required solution.

it takes about 30 days for it to break down

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.
