Problem

A diffraction grating is labelled 300 mm−1300 \text{ mm}^{-1} . (1) Calculate the spacing of the slits. (2) Orange light of wavelength 590 nm is incident normally on the diffraction grating. Calculate the angle between the central maximum and the first-order maximum of the interference pattern produced. (3) Determine what other angles would produce maxima.
