A. The 3,000-line grating produces the greater dispersion.
B. The 5,000-line grating produces the greater dispersion.
C. Both gratings produce the same dispersion, but the orders are sharper for the 3,000-line grating.
D. Both gratings produce the same dispersion, but the orders are sharper for the 5,000-line grating.
Explanation / Answer
