The universe is 13.8 billion years old.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that,
The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm
Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m
n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm,
Let d is the slit width of the grating,
For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :
For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :
So,
or
So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
Im about to the math for this right now.
