A diffraction grating has 2500 lines/cm. What is the angle between the first-order maximum for red light $(\lambda=680 \mathrm{nm})$ and the first-order maximum for blue light $(\lambda=410 \mathrm{nm})$ ?
A diffraction grating produces a second maximum that is $89.7 \mathrm{cm}$ from the central maximum on a screen $2.0 \mathrm{m}$ away. If the grating has 600 lines per centimeter, what is the wavelength of the light that produces the diffraction pattern?
