You are directing a laser at a diffraction grating with 300 line per mm to project diffracted images onto a wall to measure distances for each order and calculate their associated angles and wavelenths. If the grating used had actually contained fewer lines per meter, what differences would you expect? Explain.

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.
