irction nd Intererence 6.1 irction irction grting Circulr dirction irction nd intererence re similr phenomen. Intererence is the eect o superposition o 2 coherent wves. irction is the superposition o mny coherent wves. irction grting Consists o lt brrier which contins mny prllel slits seprted by short distnce d. A prllel monochromtic light bem pssing through the grting is dircted by n ngle dsin=m similr to two slit intererence. However, the intensity o the dircted light is higher nd the peks re much nrrower. d irction grting dsin=m two slit intererence multi-slit intererence irction grting m=2 m=1 m=0 m=-1 m=-2 m=2 m=1 m=0 m=-1 m=-2 Use o dirction grting in spectrometer ispersion o light o dierent wvelengths Question A grting in spectrometer hs length o 2 cm nd hs contins 10 4 lines.
