Question:

Light is incident normally on a diffraction grating through which first order diffraction is seen at 32°. The second order diffraction will be seen at

Options:

84°

48°

64°

None of these

Correct Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

For second order diffraction,

$\sin θ_2=\frac{2λ}{d}=2\sin θ_1$

$= 2 \sin 32° > 1$

Which is not possible. Hence there is no second order diffraction.
