Light from a sodium light source is incident perpendicular to a transmission grating that has 4,350 lines per centimeter. Sodium light consists of two very close wavelengths (1= 589.0 nm and 22 = 589.6 nm). The resulting diffraction pattern is displayed on a projection screen 1.60 m from the grating and for a particular order m, the maxima for these two wavelengths is separated by 1.32 mm. Determine the order for these two maxima. (Enter a whole number.) Submit Answer
