Suppose you use a diffraction grating that contains 600 lines/mm in your spectroscope. What effect would you expect this to have on the sharpness and resolution of the lines in your line spectrum?

A spectroscope or an optical spectrometer is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify material. I think the effect would have greater result and better resolution

Answer;

The effect would have greater result and better resolution

Step-by-step explanation;

-Diffraction grating is a thin film of clear glass or plastic that has a large number of lines per (mm) drawn on it. When light from a bright and small source passes through a diffraction grating, it generates a large number of sources at the grating. The very thin space between every two adjacent lines of the grating becomes an independent source.

-If the number of slits in an obstacle is large the sharpness of the pattern is improved, the maxima getting narrower. Obstacles with a large number of slits (more than, say, 20 to the millimetre) are called diffraction gratings.
