- A telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the eyepiece and out the objective, and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon. a. If this is done with the Mount Wilson telescope, producing a 2.1 m diameter beam of 690 nm light, what is the minimum angular spread, in radians, of the beam? b.

- You are directing a laser at a diffraction grating with 300 line per mm to project diffracted images onto a wall to measure distances for each order and calculate their associated angles and wavelenths. If the grating used had actually contained fewer lines per meter, what differences would you expect? Explain.arrow_forwardA telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the telescope in opposite the normal direction and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon. If this is done with the Mount Wilson telescope, producing a 2.54 m diameter beam of 613 nm light, what is the minimum angular spread of the beam? Neglecting atmospheric effects, what is the size of the spot this beam would make on the Moon, assuming a lunar distance of 3.84×108 m?arrow_forwardIn the laser range-finding experiments, the laser beam fired toward the moon spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. In order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1 km in diameter. Staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser.If λ = 532 nm, what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? The earth-moon distance is 384,000 km.arrow_forward
