Explanation / Answer

Here ,

wavelength = 605 nm

n = 2200 lines per cm

seperation between slits , d = 1/2200 cm

d = 4.55 *10^-6 m

a) for the first order maximum

d * sin(theta) = 1 * wavelength

4.55 *10^-6* sin(theta) = 1 * 605 *10^-9

theta = 0.134 radian

the first order maximum makes is 0.134 radian

b)

for n = 4

d * sin(theta) = 4 * wavelength

4.55 *10^-6* sin(theta) = 4 * 605 *10^-9

theta = 0.561 radian

the first order maximum makes is 0.561 radian
