Variables
Functions
Order of Diffraction
Order of Diffraction refers to the number assigned to a specific interference pattern or a specific maximum or minimum of intensity observed in the diffracted pattern.
Symbol: m
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Grafting Space
Grafting Space or distance between slits is the measure of seperation between two planes for diffraction to take place.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: μm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Incident Angle
Incident Angle is the angle at which the ray of beam hits the plane.
Symbol: θi
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wavelength of Ray
Wavelength of Ray is the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase on the wave, such as two adjacent crests, troughs.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: LengthUnit: μm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sin
Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Syntax: sin(Angle)

How to Evaluate Order of Diffraction?

Order of Diffraction evaluator uses Order of Diffraction = (2*Grafting Space*sin(Incident Angle))/Wavelength of Ray to evaluate the Order of Diffraction, The Order of Diffraction formula refers to the number assigned to a specific interference pattern or a specific maximum or minimum of intensity observed in the diffracted pattern. It provides information about the relative positions and intensities of various diffraction maxima or minima. Order of Diffraction is denoted by m symbol.

FAQs on Order of Diffraction

What is the formula to find Order of Diffraction?
The formula of Order of Diffraction is expressed as Order of Diffraction = (2*Grafting Space*sin(Incident Angle))/Wavelength of Ray. Here is an example- 7.272727 = (2*0.00016*sin(0.5235987755982))/2.2E-05.
How to calculate Order of Diffraction?
With Grafting Space (d), Incident Angle i) & Wavelength of Ray (λ) we can find Order of Diffraction using the formula - Order of Diffraction = (2*Grafting Space*sin(Incident Angle))/Wavelength of Ray. This formula also uses Sine (sin) function(s).
