Suppose that you have a reflection diffraction grating with n= 105 lines per millimeter. Light from a sodium lamp passes through the grating and is diffracted onto a distant screen. Two visible lines in the sodium spectrum have wavelengths 498 nm and 569 nm. What is the angular separation Δθ of the first maxima of these spectral lines generated by this diffraction grating? How wide does this grating need to be to allow you to resolve the two lines 589.00 and 589.59 nanometers, which are a well known pair of lines for sodium, in the second order (m=2)?

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.
