A laboratory spectrometer uses a plane diffraction grating labeled "600 lines per millimeter" to analyze light from a green laser whose vacuum wavelength is 532nm. The laser beam is incident normally on the grating, and the positions of the diffracted beams are measured in air.
Answer the following, showing all steps clearly and including appropriate units.
(a) Determine the spacing between adjacent slits on the grating.
(b) Calculate the angle, measured from the central axis, at which the second–order bright maximum for the laser light will appear.
