Question: 3 ) Measuring the track spacing on a CD Reflecting the beam from a green ( 5 3 2 nm wavelength ) laser pointer off

3) Measuring the track spacing on a CD
Reflecting the beam from a green (532nm wavelength) laser pointer off a CD and onto a wall
36 inches away you note that the space between the central dot and the next closest dot is
~13 inches.
1) What is the spacing between the tracks (i.e., between the row of pits that contain the
data) on the CD? Use units of mm.
2) Google to get the standard value of the track spacing distance in units of mm and
compare to the value you just calculated.
