Chapter 37, Problem 49AP
Two closely spaced
(b) A square grating 2.00 cm on each side containing 8 000 equally spaced slits is used to analyze the spectrum of mercury. Two closely spaced lines emitted by this element have wavelengths of 579.065 nm and 576.959 nm. What is the angular separation of these two wavelengths in the second-order spectrum?

10 mW of light is incident on a piece of GaAs
which is 0.2mm thick. The incident light is a
mixture of 5mW at A1=1.553µm and 5mW at
12=0.828um. A total of 7mW mixed light exits
out of the GaAs. Assume no reflections at the
air/GaAs interface and any light generated by
recombination won't exit the GaAs. What are
the absorption coefficients, a, for two
different wavelengths?
X rays of wavelength 0.0850 nm are scattered from the atoms of a crystal. The second-order maximum in the Bragg reflection occurs when the angle θ in Fig is 21.5°. What is the spacing between adjacent atomic planes in the crystal?
Monochromatic X-rays are incident on a crystal. The first-order Bragg peak is observed when the angle of
incidence is 34.0°. The crystal spacing is known to be 0.347 nm. What is the wavelength of the X rays?
