- Homework Statement
- You have project in your physics class to build a diffraction grating. The key component is that you need to disperse visible light over a 30-degress spread at the first order. Visible light has a range of 400-700nm. How many lines per mm do you need for your diffraction grating?
- Relevant Equations
- mλ =dsin(Θ)
Been trying to figure this problem out for a couple hours now, if i use 400 nm into the equation it comes out to 800: 400=sin(30). If i do 700 nm it comes out to 1400: 700=sin(30).
I feel like i’m doing somethingwrong with the problem but i can’t figure out what.
