Problem23.
A grating with is illuminated with light of wavelength 585 nm. What is the highest order number that can be observed if the grating has 1483 lines/cm? remember sin(theta) can never be greater than 1.

Problem 25 A diffraction grating is calibrated by using the 546.1 m line of mercury vapor. The first-order maximum is found at an angle of 26.09 degrees. Calculate the number of lines per centimeter on this grating. Answer in lines/cm.
