Diffraction gratings are designed with a variety of slit widths, d. For a microscopic view and examples of real diffraction gratings, see the figures below.

100 lines/mm
300 lines/mm
600 lines/mm
Suppose a diffraction grating contains 929 lines per millimeter. What is its slit width in nanometers?
[Note: 1 meter = 10^3 millimeters = 10^3 nanometers]
