8. You know that light hitting a CD is diffracted into a rainbow. Let's use this fact to get a rough estimate of the spacing of the adjacent recording pits on the CD. Consider this to be just like a diffraction grating, and we will guess we get a reasonable diffraction angle of 10° for light of 500 nm. What must be the spacing |between those pits?
