Consider this problem: "Constructive interference fringes from a bright blue laser (wavelength 425 nm) shining onto a diffraction grating are displayed on a screen. The 4th bright fringe from the center has spread from the grating at a 30 degree angle. How many nanometers (nm) are between the slits on the grating?" QUESTION: in the quoted problem, which symbol in the equation is represented by the given number 425 nm? d(sin0) = mλ Od (distance from a slit to the neighboring slit) OA (wavelength of the light) m (integer that identifies the fringe) e (angle at which the fringe forms on the screen)
