grating having 5000 lines per cm and the second order spectral line is
diffracted through 30°. Calculate wavelength of light used. [Ans :- 5 x 10-7 m]
2. How wide is the central diffraction maxima on a screen 5m behind 0.01mm
illuminated by 500nm light source? [Ans :- 0.5 m]
3. A parallel beam of sodium light is incident normally on a plane diffraction
grating. The angle between the two first order spectra on either side of the
normal is 27°42'. Assuming that the wavelength of light is 5893.3 A°. Find the
number of lines per mm on the grating. [Ans :- 406 lines per mm]

maximum at angle 30° from the central band. Find the angle at which first
order maximum is observed. [Ans :- 9.6°]
