I with my physics lab questions about diffraction grafting

AI Thread Summary
To find the ruling "D" (number of grooves per meter) from the grating constant "d" (spacing between slits), the relationship is inversely proportional; D is calculated as the reciprocal of d. The discussion also clarifies that "grafting" is a gardening term and not related to diffraction gratings. Additionally, participants emphasize the importance of reviewing class notes for foundational concepts. The conversation highlights the need for understanding the relationship between spacing and the number of grooves, using the analogy of fence posts to illustrate this concept. Overall, the discussion focuses on clarifying key concepts in diffraction grating.

1) If "d" is the grafting constant "spacing between 2 slits on a grating), hwo can we obtain the ruling (number of grooves per meter) "D"?

2) Illistrate order of diffraction

1. Did you read the "Do NOT POST HOMEWORK" notice at the top of this forum.
2. It's a 'grating constant'. "Grafting" is what gardeners do with fruit trees.
3. Isn't this in your notes? How is 'number per unit length' related to 'spacing'? Imagine it was a row of fence posts.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
