Diffraction Applications
Physics 202Professor Lee
CarknerLecture 26
PAL #25
The first side pattern is between the m=1 and m=2 diffraction minima:
a sin = and a sin = 2
sin = /a and sin = 2 /a
sin 1 = 650 X 10-9 / 0.08 X 10-3 = 8.125 X 10-3
sin 2 = (2)(650 X 10-9)/0.08 X 10-3 =1.625 X 10-2
PAL #25 What interference maxima are between
the two angles?
m1 = d sin 1 / and m2 = d sin 2 /m1 = (0.25 X 10-3)(8.125 X 10-3)/650 X 10-9=
m2 = (0.25 X 10-3)(1.625 X 10-2)/650 X 10-9= We should see 3 bright fringes (m = 4,5,6)
in the first side diffraction envelope
PAL #25
Middle interference fringe is m = 5 sin = (5)()/(d) =
= (a/ sin = [()(0.08 X 10-3 ) /(650 X 10-
9 )] (0.013) = 5.026 rad = (d/) sin =
I = Imcos2 (sin /)2 = Im (1)(0.0358) = 0.036 Im
PAL #25 Screen is 2 meters away, what is at point 4.3
cm from the center?
Diffraction pattern y/D = m/a, m = ya/D = (4.3X10-2)(0.08X10-3)/(2)
(650X10-9) = 2.65
Diffraction Gratings
If light of 2 different wavelengths passes through, each will produce a maxima, but they will tend to blur together
This makes lines from different wavelengths easier to distinguish
A system with large N is called a diffraction grating and is useful for spectroscopy
Maxima From Grating
Location of Lines
d sin = m where d is the distance between any two slits (or
rulings) on the grating
For polychromatic light, each maxima is composed of many narrow lines (one for each wavelength the incident light is composed of)
Elemental Lines
When electrons move between these energy levels, they can produce light at a specific wavelength
The pattern of spectral lines can identify the
element
Spectroscope
This will produce a series of orders, each order containing lines (maxima) over a range of wavelengths
The wavelength of a line corresponds to its position angle
We measure with a optical scope mounted on a vernier position scale Can also take an image of the pattern
Using Spectroscopy
We want to be able to resolve lines that are close together
How can we achieve this?
Line Width The narrower the lines, the easier to
resolve lines that are closely spaced in wavelength
hw = /(Nd cos ) where N is the number of slits and d is
the distance between 2 slits
Dispersion
D =
D = m / d cos For larger m and smaller d the
resulting spectra takes up more space
Resolving Power The most important property
of a grating is the resolving power, a measure of how well closely separated lines (in ) can be distinguished
R = av/
For example, a grating with R = 10000 could resolve 2 blue lines (= 450 nm) that were separated by 0.045 nm
Resolving Power of a Grating
R = Nm
Looking at higher orders helps to resolve lines
Spectral Type
The types of elements present in a star and the transitions they make depends on the temperature
Examples: Very cool stars (T~3000 K) can be identified by
the presence of titanium oxide which cannot exist at high temperatures
