Answers to security questions

1. Explain the principle of operation of a diffraction grating.

The principle of operation is the same as that of prisms - deflection of transmitted light at a certain angle. The angle depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The longer the wavelength, the larger the angle. It is a system of identical parallel slits in a flat opaque screen.

2. Indicate the order of the primary colors in the diffraction spectrum?

In the diffraction spectrum: violet, blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange and red.

3. How will the diffraction spectrum change if you use a grating with a period 2 times greater than in your experiment? 2 times smaller?

Spectrum in general case there is a frequency distribution. Spatial frequency is the reciprocal of the period. It is therefore obvious that doubling the period leads to a compression of the spectrum, and decreasing the spectrum will lead to a doubling of the spectrum.

Conclusions: A diffraction grating allows one to very accurately measure the wavelength of light.

Subject: Measuring the wavelength of light.

Goal of the work: measure the wavelength of red and purple flowers, compare the obtained values ​​with the table ones.

Equipment: electric light bulb with a straight filament, a device for determining wavelength of light.

Theoretical part

In this work, to determine the light wavelength, a diffraction grating with a period of 1/100 mm or 1/50 mm is used (the period is indicated on the grating). It is the main part of the measuring setup shown in the figure. The grid 1 is installed in a holder 2, which is attached to the end of the ruler 3. On the ruler there is a black screen 4 with a narrow vertical slot 5 in the middle. The screen can move along the ruler, which allows you to change the distance between it and the diffraction grating. There are millimeter scales on the screen and ruler. The entire installation is mounted on a tripod 6.

If you look through the grating and the slit at a light source (an incandescent lamp or a candle), then on the black background of the screen you can observe diffraction spectra of the 1st, 2nd, etc. orders on both sides of the slit.

Rice. 1

Wavelengthλ determined by the formulaλ = dsinφ/k , Whered - lattice period;k - spectrum order; φ - the angle at which the maximum light of the corresponding color is observed.

Since the angles at which the 1st and 2nd order maxima are observed do not exceed 5°, their tangents can be used instead of the sines of the angles. From the figure it is clear thattgφ = b/a . DistanceA count using a ruler from the grille to the screen, the distanceb - along the screen scale from the slit to the selected spectrum line.

The final formula for determining the wavelength isλ = db/ka

In this work, the measurement error of wavelengths is not estimated due to some uncertainty in the choice of the middle part of the spectrum of a given color.

Goal of the work

Study of light diffraction on a one-dimensional grating, measurement of light wavelength.

Brief theoretical introduction

A one-dimensional diffraction grating is a series of transparent parallel slits of equal width a, separated by equal opaque spaces b. The sum of the sizes of the transparent and opaque areas is usually called the period, or lattice constant d.

The grating period is related to the number of lines per millimeter n by the relation

The total number of grid lines N is equal to

where l is the width of the grating.

The diffraction pattern on a grating is determined as the result of mutual interference of waves coming from all N slits, i.e. The diffraction grating performs multi-beam interference of coherent diffracted beams of light coming from all slits.

Let a parallel beam of monochromatic light with wavelength λ be incident on the grating. Behind the grating, as a result of diffraction, the rays will propagate in different directions. Since the slits are at equal distances from each other, the path differences ∆ of the secondary rays formed according to the Huygens–Fresnel principle and coming from neighboring slits in the same direction will be identical throughout the entire lattice and equal

If this path difference is a multiple of an integer number of wavelengths, i.e.

then, during interference, main maxima will appear in the focal plane of the lens. Here m = 0,1,2, … is the order of the main maxima.

The main maxima are located symmetrically relative to the central, or zero, with m = 0, corresponding to light rays that passed through the grating without deviations (undiffracted, = 0). Equality (2) is called the condition for main maxima on the lattice. Each slit also forms its own diffraction pattern. In those directions in which one slit produces minima, minima from other slits will also be observed. These minima are determined by the condition

The position of the main maxima depends on the wavelength λ. Therefore, when white light is passed through a grating, all maxima, except for the central one (m = 0), will decompose into a spectrum, the violet part of which will face the center of the diffraction pattern, and the red part will face outward. This property of a diffraction grating is used to study the spectral composition of light, i.e. a diffraction grating can be used as a spectral device.

Let us denote the distance between the middle of the zero maximum and the maxima of the 1.2, ... mth orders, respectively, x 1 x 2 ... x t and the distance between the plane of the diffraction grating and the screen -L. Then the sine of the diffraction angle

Using the last relation, from the condition of the main maxima one can determine λ of any line in the spectrum.

The experimental setup contains:

S - light source, CL - collimator lens, S - slit for limiting the size of the light beam, PL - focusing lens, DR - diffraction grating with a period d = 0.01 mm, E - screen for observing the diffraction pattern. To work in monochromatic light, filters are used.

Work order

    We arrange the installation parts along 1 axis in the indicated order, and fix a sheet of paper on the screen.

    Turn on the light source S. Install a white filter.

    Using a ruler attached to the installation, measure the distance L from the grille to the screen.

L 1 = 13.5 cm = 0.135 m, L 2 = 20.5 cm = 0.205 m.

    We mark on a piece of paper the midpoints of the zero, first and other maximums to the right and left of the center. WITH extreme precision measure the distance x 1, x 2.

    Let's calculate the wavelengths transmitted by the filter.

    Let's find the arithmetic mean value of the wavelength using the formula

    Let's calculate absolute error measurements using the formula

where n is the number of changes, ɑ - confidence probability measurements, t ɑ (n) – the corresponding Student coefficient.

    We write the final result in the form

    We compare the obtained wavelength with the theoretical value. We write down the conclusion of the work.

"Interference"


Interference

Addition in wave space, which produces a time-constant distribution of amplitudes resulting fluctuations


Discovery of interference

The phenomenon of interference was observed by Newton

Discovery and term interference belong to Jung


Condition of maxima

  • The amplitude of oscillations of the medium at a given point is maximum if the difference in the paths of two waves exciting oscillations at this point is equal to an integer number of wavelengths

d=k λ


Minimum condition

  • The amplitude of oscillations of the medium at a given point is minimal if the difference in the paths of the two waves that excite oscillations at this point is equal to an odd number of half-waves.

d=(2k+1) λ /2


« Soap bubble, soaring in the air... lights up with all the shades of colors inherent in the surrounding objects. A soap bubble is perhaps the most exquisite miracle of nature."

Mark Twain


Interference in thin films

  • The difference in color is due to the difference in wavelength. Light beams different colors correspond to waves of different lengths. For mutual amplification of waves, different film thicknesses are required. Therefore, if the film has unequal thickness, then when illuminated with white light, different colors should appear.

  • A simple interference pattern arises in a thin layer of air between a glass plate and a plane-convex lens placed on it, the spherical surface of which has a large radius of curvature.

  • Waves 1 and 2 are coherent. If the second wave lags behind the first by an integer number of wavelengths, then, when added, the waves reinforce each other. The oscillations they cause occur in one phase.
  • If the second wave lags behind the first by odd number half-waves, then the oscillations caused by them will occur in opposite phases and the waves cancel each other

  • Checking the quality of surface treatment.
  • It is necessary to create a thin wedge-shaped layer of air between the surface of the sample and a very smooth reference plate. Then the irregularities will cause noticeable bending of the interference fringes.

  • Enlightening optics. Part of the beam after multiple reflections from internal surfaces still passes through the optical device, but is scattered and no longer participates in creating a clear image. To eliminate these consequences, coated optics are used. To the surface optical glass apply thin film. If the amplitudes of the reflected waves are the same or very close to each other, then the light extinction will be complete. Attenuation of reflected waves at lenses means that all light passes through the lens.
