OF FINE POWDER
Aim: To determine the wavelength of semiconductor Laser using grating and to determine the
particle size of powder
Apparatus: Laser source, grating plate, screen, fine powder etc

dn
To measure dn is the position of slit is adjusted so that a clear circular ring pattern is obtained on
screen. The centre of ring pattern is marked on screen. Inner and outer radius d n is calculated
experimentally. The same process is repeated for different values of D
Observations and Tabular column:
The distance between the grating and the screen d= . 10-2m
