Answer:
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 547.45 x 10⁻⁶ rad
Explanation:
GIven;
Wavelength of manganese vapor laser beam = 534 nm = 534 x 10⁻⁹ m
Diameter = 1.19 mm = 1.19 x 10⁻³ m
Find:
Minimum angular spread (in rad)
Computation:
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 1.22[Wavelength / Diameter]
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 1.222[(534 x 10⁻⁹) / (1.19 x 10⁻³)]
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 2[448.73 x 10⁻⁶]
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 547.45 x 10⁻⁶ rad
