Question 1

Describe how to determine the slit spacing ddd and the number of lines per millimetre NNN of an unknown diffraction grating using a monochromatic laser of known wavelength λ\lambdaλ.

As part of your answer, explain how to:

  • analyse the measurements collected using a graphical method.
  • improve the accuracy of the measurements taken.

You are given a laser of known wavelength λ\lambdaλ.
