DIFFRACTION

1. In Fraunhofer diffraction due to a narrow slit, a screen is placed 2m away from the lens to obtain the pattern. If the slit width is 0.2mm and the first minimum is 5mm on either side of the central maximum, find the wavelength of the light.

2. Find the half angular width of the central bright maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a slit of width wavelength 5000. cm when the slit is illuminated by monochromatic light of

3. The separation of Na- lines (mean 5893) in the second order spectrum of a transmission grating containing 5000 lines per cm is 12.5 minute for normal incidence. What is the difference between two yellow lines?

4. What is the highest order of spectrum that may be observed with monochromatic light of wavelength 5400 by means of a diffraction grating with 6000lines/cm?

5. Calculate the minimum number of lines per cm in a 2.5cm wide grating which will just resolve the sodium lines (5890 and 5896) in the, second order spectrum.

6. A plane diffraction grating has 5000lines/cm. How many orders of spectra for light of wavelength 5000 will be visible? Also find the wavelength in the range 3500 to 8000 which will overlap with the third order maxima for =5000.

7. Find the angular width of the central bright maximum in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a slit of width 5000. cm when the slit is illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength
