If a diffraction grating with 300 lines/mm is illuminated with beam of white light, and the 2nd order diffracted light is observed via a lens of f = 5 cm and a light detector; the lens and detector are arranged with the optical axis along the 2nd order diffracted light of wavelength 500 nm. Find  the separation on the detector between 2nd-order light at  400 nm and 600 nm.
