What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30 degrees, and the diffraction grating has 700 lines per mm?

714.285 nm

Explanation:

The diffraction angles when we have a slit divided into parts are obtained by the following equation:  

(1)  

Where:  

is the width of the slit  

is the wavelength of the light  

is an integer different from zero

Now, the first-order diffraction angle is given when , hence equation (1) is rewritten as:  

(2)  

We know:  

In addition we are told the diffraction grating has 700 lines per mm, this means:  

Solving (2) with the known values we will find :  

(3)  

(4)  

Knowing :

This is the wavelength of the light

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
