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

Physics

The wavelengths of prominent lines in the visible range observed in mercury are 405 nm, 436 nm, 492 nm, 546 nm, 577 nm, and 623 nm. If the light emitted by a mercury lamp passes through a diffraction grating what is the smallest slit separation which could allow one to observe an interference pattern for all six lines.
