Question

Which lists the correct steps that occur when using a diffraction grating to bend light?

a. diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes different wavelengths of light bend at different angles the eyes see different colors light strikes the grooves

b. different wavelengths of light bend at different angles light strikes the grooves diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes the eyes see different colors

c. diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes the eyes see different colors light strikes the grooves different wavelengths of light bend at different angles

d. light strikes the grooves different wavelengths of light bend at different angles diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes the eyes see different colors

Explanation / Answer

the answer for the given question is option D.

the main objective of the diffraction grating experiment is to split white light into different colours.

so the first step is that 1. Light strikes the grooves.

2. since different colours have different wavelengths they bend at different angles.

3. these diffracted wavelenghts reaches the eyes.

4. Eyes see different colours

so answer is option D.
