P. 1.

In a grating spectrum, 4th order of a line (λ1) overlaps with 3rd order of (λ2) 5461
Angstrom. Find λ1 ?

P.2 A converging lens 32 mm in diameter has a focal length f of 24 Cm. (a) what angular
separation must two distant point objects have to satisfy Rayleigh’s criteria ?
Assume that λ = 550 nm. (b) how far apart are the centres of two diffraction patterns in
the focal plane of the lens?

P.3 The wavelengths of sodium D lines are 589.593 micro meter and 589.996 micro meter.
What is the minimum number of lines that a grating must have in order to resolve these
linnes in the first order spectrum?
