Exercise 1 - Questions 1. Hold the grating several inches from your face, at an angle. Look at the grating that you will be using. Record what details you see at the grating surface. 0 Words 2. Hold the diffraction grating up to your eye and look through it. Record what you see. Be specific. 0 Words 3. Before mounting the diffraction grating, look through the opening that you made for your grating. Record what you see across the back of your spectroscope.

1) on the surface you can see the slits with equal spacing, on the one hand and on the other hand it is smooth.

2)If the angle is zero we see a bright light called undispersed light

For different angles we see the colors of the spectrum

3) must be able to see the well-collimated light emission source

Explanation:

1) A diffraction grating (diffraction grating) is a surface on which a series of indentations are drawn evenly spaced.

These crevices or lines are formed by copying a standard metal net when the plastic is melted and after hardening is carefully removed, or if the nets used are a copy of the master net.

The network can be of two types of transmission or reflection, in teaching work the most common is the transmission network, on the surface you can see the slits with equal spacing, on the one hand and on the other hand it is smooth.

The number of lines per linear mm determines which range of the spectrum a common value can be observed to observe the range of viable light is 600 and 1200 lines per mm.

2) when looking through the diffraction grating what we can observe depends on the relative angle between the eye and the normal to the network.

If the angle is zero we see a bright light called undispersed light

For different angles we see the colors of the spectrum, if it is an incandescent lamp we see a continuum with all the colors in the visible range and if it is a gas lamp we see the characteristic emission lines of the gas.

3) Before mounting the grid on the spectrometer, we must be able to see the well-collimated light emission source, this means that it is clearly observed.

The spectrometers have several screws to be able to see the lamp clearly, this is of fundamental importance in optical experiments.
