Light emitted by element X passes through a diffraction grating that has 1200 slits/mm. The interference pattern is observed on a screen 77.0 cm behind the grating. First-order maxima are observed at distances of 58.0 cm , 65.4 cm , and 94.5 cm from the central maximum. What are the wavelengths of light emitted by element X?

500 nm, 530 nm, 650 nm

Explanation:

Let's say that there is diffraction grating observed with a slit spacing of s. Respectively we must determine the angle θ which will help us determine the 3 wavelengths ( λ ) of the light emitted by element X. This can be done applying the following formulas,

s( sin θ ) = m λ, such that y = L( tan θ ) - where y = positioning, or the distance of the first - order maxima, and L = constant, of 77 cm

Now the grating has a slit spacing of -

s = 1 / N = 1 / 1200 = 0.833 10⁻³ mm

The diffraction angles of the " positionings " should thus be -

θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.58 / 0.77 ) = 37°,

θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.654 / 0.77 ) = 40°,

θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.945 / 0.77 ) = 51°

The wavelengths of these three bright fringes should thus be calculated through the formula : λ = s( sin θ ) -

λ = 0.833 10⁻³ sin( 37° ) = ( 500 10⁻⁹ m )

λ = 0.833 10⁻³ sin( 40° ) = ( 530 10⁻⁹ m )

λ = 0.833 10⁻³ sin( 51° ) = ( 650 10⁻⁹ m )

Wavelengths : 500 nm, 530 nm, 650 nm

answer: decibel

explanation:

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
