In a Diffraction Grating Experiment, Light of 600 Nm Wavelength

question 101

Short Answer

In a diffraction grating experiment, light of 600 nm wavelength produces a first-order
maximum 0.35 mm from the central maximum on a distant screen. On the same screen, a
second monochromatic source produces a third-order maximum 0.87 mm from the
central maximum when it passes through the same diffraction grating. What is the
wavelength of the light from the second source?

Definitions:

Ordinal Scale

A scale of measurement in which the measurement categories form a rank order along a continuum.

Unobtrusive Measure

Research methods that do not involve direct interaction with the participants, minimizing the influence of the measurement process on the results.

Convergent Validity

The extent to which two measurements of constructs, which are expected to have a theoretical correlation, actually do exhibit a relationship.

Reactivity

The alteration of the behavior of study participants due to their awareness of being observed.
