[SOLVED] Easy question on diffraction of light please help!
Wavelengths are; 1 - 520nm
Wavelength 2 - 520.8nm
Diffraction grating - 400 lines per mm
How many orders will the lines be seen in?
N = dsin0/lamda
d = 1/4 X 10^5 = 25 X10^-7m
25 X 10^-7 / 520 X 10^-9 = 4.8
So is the answer 4? for the first wavelength (520nm)
