(a) If a diffraction grating has a resolution of 104, is it possible to distinguish two spectral lines with wavelengths of 10.00 and 10.01 µm?
(b) With a resolution of 104, how close in wavenumbers (cm-1) is the closest line to 1 000 cm-1 that can barely be resolved?
(c) Calculate the resolution of a 5.0-cm-long grating ruled at 250 lines/mm for first-order (n = 1) diffraction and tenth-order (n = 10) diffraction.
(d) Find the angular dispersion (Δϕ in radians and degrees) between light rays with wavenumbers of 1 000 and 1 001 cm-1 for second-order diffraction (n = 2) from a grating with 250 lines/mm and ϕ = 30°.
