    We did a practical before learning much theory on diffraction gratings, and I'm pleased to say I understood what we did then, having watched this. The switch from Young's equation to this n x wavelength = slit width x sin theta makes all the more sense, and I understand the reciprocal relationship between 'D' (grating) and 'd' (slit width) now. Other useful pointers received from the video, so thank you very much :)

  • @leophoenixmusic
    @leophoenixmusic 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    See, thing is we were never told that the equation used assumes a curved screen, which is why I find this topic so confusing, as the usually explanation makes no sense on the scale that we draw it at, and if you try measuring the actual lengths in the diagrams, the maths won’t work out. However on the scale of actual wavelengths of light and slit separation, we can make assumptions and approximations as it makes much less of a difference.
