15. Orange light of 605 nm goes through a diffraction grating with 580 lines/mm and onto a screen 1.5 m away
from the grating. How far apart are the first and second order fringes on the screen? [0.92 m]
16. a. White light shines through a diffraction grating and onto a screen. You can just see 5 full orders of
spectra. How many lines/mm is the grating? [267 lines/mm]
b. "White light" means all the colors together. Why do we use only one wavelength for this calculation?
