Short answers
5

A parallel beam of the monochromatic light is incident normally on a diffraction grating. The angle between the two first -order spectra on either side of the normal is 30o. Assume that the wavelength of the light is 5893x10-10m; find the number of ruling per mm on the grating and the greatest number of bright images obtained.
