A diffraction grating having 500 lines/mm diffracts visible light at $30^{\circ} .$ What is the light's wavelength?
Added by Cesar M.
Step 1
We know that the diffraction grating has 500 lines/mm. We need to convert this to lines/meter to use it in the formula. Show more…

A diffraction grating diffracts light at 15 degree . What is the wavelength of the light if the grating has 1000 lines per mm?
Narayan H.
Light of a single wavelength is incident on a diffraction grating with 500 slits/mm. Several bright fringes are observed on a screen behind the grating, including one at $45.7^{\circ}$ and one next to it at $72.6^{\circ} .$ What is the wavelength of the light?
