When the light of a wavelength 450 nm is passed through a certain diffraction

grating, the first order diffraction maximum is found to be at an angle of 35° to the
straight through. Calculate the distance between adjacent slits in the grating

1 answer

the difference in path length = 1 wavelength
d sin 35 = 450 *10^-9 meter
