Monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is incident normally on a grating.If the third-order maximum of the diffraction pattern is observed at 32.0°,what is the total number of maxima can be seen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of maxima can be seen is given by:N = (d/λ) + 1where d is the grating spacing and λ is the wavelength of light.In this case, d/λ = 32.0°/3 = 10.67.Therefore, N = 10.67 + 1 = 11.
