Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

Monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is incident normally on a diffraction grating. If the third-
order maximum of the diffraction pattern is observed at 32° from the centerline, what is the distance
between the slits of the grating?
