Angular width of first-order visible spectrum

[Bolter]

Homework Statement:

See image attached below

Relevant Equations:

dsin(theta) = m*lambda

This is a diffraction grating problem I have been given that I am trying to answer

Made a attempt at it and just wanted to see if I done this correctly or not? I get an angular width of 0.71 degrees which is very small

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks

 

You switched from lines per millimetre to lines per centimetre at the start.

Oh shoot yes you're right I don't know what I was thinking there. This must change the whole answer then. I get my distance between adjacent slits to be 1/415,000 m = 2.409... x 10^-6 m

Running through the same process but with new d value now, I get the angular width to be 7.33 degrees now?
