Best Answer

NO. Recall sin@ = N m L. Here N is number of slits per unit length, m the order and L (lambda) the wavelength of light. As m = 2 then @ for different colours would be larger and so wider

What is main difference between prism spectrum and grating spectrum?

Prism spectrum is formed due to DISPERSION but grating spectrum is formed due to DIFFRACTION. In prism spectrum we have only one order but in grating spectrum we can have second order too IN prism spectrum we have continuous spectrum but in gratings we have only line spectrum In prism spectrum red end will be closer to the direct ray but in grating spectrum violet end will be closer to the direct ray


What happens when light passes through diffraction grating?

One situation is the movement of light through water. If you are ever in a pool, you may notice the different light patterns, or in the ocean, waves of light split up into their capability of reaching the bottom. Also, light diffracts during rainfall (rainbows).


A laser beam of wavelength 630nm is directed normally at a diffraction grating with 300 lines per millimetre. Calculate the angle of diffraction of each of the first two orders.?

1/(3*10^5) = 0.000003(recurring) (630*10^-9)/0.000003(recurring) =0.189 sin^-1(0.189)=10.9 degrees (first order) 10.9*2=21.8 degrees (second order)
