Measuring wavelength with a grating

H2 Physics · JC 1 · Hard · Measuring wavelength with a grating

A diffraction grating has

4.0\times10^{5}

lines per metre. Monochromatic light is incident normally. At what angle from the central maximum is the first-order maximum for light of wavelength

600\,\text{nm}

?

Use

d = 1/n

and

d\sin\theta = m\lambda
