why do you find the same wavelengths and colors on each side of the central maxima?

1 answer

In what experiment? Single slit diffraction of white light? Diffraction by a grating?

Because cos(theta) = cos(-theta)
Theta is the angular distance from the central maximum, for a particular wavelength and order.
