Question

  An electric current through an unknown gas produces several distinct wavelengths of visible light. Consider the first order maxima for the wavelengths 403 nm, 428 nm, 511 nm, and 682 nm of this unknown spectrum, when projected with a diffraction grating of 5,000 lines per centimeter.

Randomized Variablesλ1 = 403 nm
λ2 = 428 nm
λ3 = 511 nm
λ4 = 682 nm

Part (a)  What would the angle (in degrees) be for the 403 nm line? 

 Part (b)  What would the angle (in degrees) be for the 428 nm line?
  Part (c)  What would the angle (in degrees) be for the 511 nm line?
  Part (d)  What would the angle (in degrees) be for the 682 nm line?
   Part (e)  Using this grating, what would be the angle (in degrees) of the second-order maximum of the 403 nm line?
