Two waveslengths of light are incident upon a diffraction grating with a grating constant of 426 lines/mm. If the wavelengths of light are 631 nm and 470 nm, what is the linear separation between the 2 ondrder maxima of these two wavelengths on a screen that is a distance 1.73 away from the grating?

Shown below is a double slit located a distance x from a screen, with the distance from the center of the screen given by y. When the distance d between the slits is relatively large, numerous bright spots appear, called fringes. Show that, for small angles (where sin , with in radians), the distance between fringes is given by y=x/d
