Section A box
Answer all questions in this section.
0 1 This question is about the measurement of the wavelength of laser light.
The light is shone onto a diffraction grating at normal incidence.
The light transmitted by the diffraction grating produces five spots on a screen. These
spots are labelled A to E in Figure 1.
Figure 1
A student uses a metre ruler with 1 mm divisions to take readings. He uses these
readings to obtain measurements a, b and c, the distances between centres of the
spots as shown in Figure 1.
Table 1 shows his measurements and his estimated uncertainties.

smallest division on the metre ruler.
You should refer to the readings taken by the student in obtaining this measurement.
[2 marks]
0 1 . 2 The distance between the centres of spots A and C and the distance between the
centres of spots C and E are equal.
That is:
a+b=c
Calculate the percentage uncertainty in the sum of a and b.

Describe one other safety measure to minimise the risk of eye damage when using a
laser in the laboratory.
