Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

A helium-neon laser (2=632.8 nm) is used to calibrate a diffraction grating. If the first-order maximum occurs at 20.0°, what is the spacing between adjacent grooves in the grating? (In this problem, assume
that the light is incident normally on the grating.)

Oil has an index of refraction of 1.40.
Check Your Understanding Although m, the number of fringes observed, is an integer, which is often regarded as having zero uncertainty, in practical terms, it is all too easy to lose track when counting fringes.

(b) By how much?
