Diffraction Grating vs. Double Slit Similar to the double slit except: Grating has more slits increased light passing through brighter interference pattern The maximas are sharper and narrower in grating ________
Double Slit vs. Multi Slit Interference pattern becomes brighter and sharper. Maxima become narrower and more spread out.

The Grating Equation d = distance between slits λ = wavelength Θ = emergent angle. Different wavelengths will have different Θ. m = ……………...
The Grating Equation Constructive interference (solid bands) occurs when m = an integer (positive or negative whole number, no fractions). When fractions occur, you get destructive interference and therefore, no bright spot ___________ Different wavelengths will diffract ……………….

White Light and Grating If the light striking the grating is not monochromatic but a mixture of wavelengths, each wavelength produces a pattern of bright maxima at different locations on the viewing screen
Spectroscope _________
__________ Can be used to determine the atomic makeup of distant objects as different atoms give off different spectrums of light which can be analyzed
DVD’s and CD’s The tracks of a CD or DVD act as a reflection diffraction grating, producing a separation of the colors of white light. The nominal track separation on a CD is 1.6 micrometers, corresponding to about 625 tracks per millimeter. For red light ………………..
