Answer:
Wavelength is 471 nm
Explanation:
Given that,
Lines per unit length of diffraction grating is 500 lines/mm.
The third maxima from the central maxima (m=3) is at an angle of 45°
We need to find the color of laser light shines through a diffraction grating.
The condition for maxima is :
[tex]d\sin\theta=m\lambda[/tex]
d = 1/N, N = number of lines per mm
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{1}{Nm}\sin\theta\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{10^{-3}}{500\times 3}\sin(45)\\\\\lambda=4.31\times 10^{-7}\\\\\text{or}\\\\\lambda=471\ nm[/tex]
