NEETPhysicsCurrent Electricity
Following diffraction pattern was obtained using a diffraction grating using two different wavelengths ₁ and ₂ . With the help of the figure identify which is the longer wavelength and their ratios.
Options
- A₂ is longer than ₁ and the ratio of the longer to the shorter wavelength is 1.5
- B₁ is longer than ₂ and the ratio of the longer to the shorter wavelength is 1.5
- C₁ and ₂ are equal and their ratio is 1.0
- D₂ is longer than ₁ and the ratio of the longer to the shorter wavelength is 2.5 .
Correct answer
C. ₁ and ₂ are equal and their ratio is 1.0
Step-by-step solution
Since position of central maximum is same, hence asin = is same for both wavelengths. i.e, a= constant, = same, is same for both waves ₁= ₂ and ₁ ₂ =1
