In a Diffraction Experiment, Light of 600

question 73

Short Answer

In a diffraction experiment, light of 600. nm wavelength produces a first-order maximum 0.350 mm from the central maximum on a distant screen. A second monochromatic source produces a third-order maximum 0.870 mm from the central maximum when it passes through the same diffraction grating. What is the wavelength of the light from the second source?
