Multiple Choice
The yellow line of a Sodium lamp is two lines very close together at 1 = 589.592 nm and 2 = 588.995 nm.A diffraction grating with 10,000 lines/cm is used to resolve the lines.What is the angular separation of the two lines for the first order diffraction?
A) 0.212
B) 0.0423
C) 0.0613
D) 0.0814
E) There is no angular separation.
