Answer:
θ = 0.14°
Explanation:
Here we will use the grating equation. The grating equation is as follows:
mλ = d Sin θ
where,
θ = angle = ?
m = order number = 3
λ = wavelength of light = 577 nm = 5.77 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = spacing between slits = 1/(1420 lines/cm) = 7.042 x 10⁻⁴ m
Therefore, using these values, we get:
(3)(5.77 x 10⁻⁷ m) = (7.042 x 10⁻⁴ m)Sin θ
Sin θ = (3)(5.77 x 10⁻⁷ m)/(7.042 x 10⁻⁴ m)
Sin θ = 2.46 x 10⁻³
θ = Sin⁻¹(2.46 x 10⁻³)
θ = 0.14°
