About this document
Wavelength Measurement via Diffraction Grating by Rodney Arceneaux is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes an experiment to estimate the wavelength of light using a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating with 300 lines per mm was used along with a ray box and two meter rules. Light from the ray box was diffracted by the grating, producing colored spectra. The distances from the central fringe to the first order blue, green, and red fringes were measured. Using the diffraction grating equation, the wavelengths of blue, green, and red light were calculated to be 446nm, 527nm, and 701nm r
