Wavelength selectionWavelength selection is accomplished by rotating the gratingSince angle between the entrance slit, grating <strong>and</strong> exit slit is fixed(2φ), grating <strong>for</strong>mula can be expressed in terms of the gratingrotation angle θ (between grating normal <strong>and</strong> optical axis)Since α = θ - φ <strong>and</strong> β = θ + φ,mλ = d[ sin(θ − φ) + sin(θ + φ) ]= 2dsin θcosφ(the trigonometric identity 1/2(sin(A+B)+sin(A-B)) is sinA·cosB)Grating <strong>for</strong>mula now in experimental variables: θ (the gratingrotation angle) <strong>and</strong> φ (half-angle between the entrance, grating <strong>and</strong>exit <strong>and</strong> slit)CEM 835 page 3-17
