Question

In a diffraction experiment the 1st order light (m = 1) from a diffraction grating  is falling onto a single slit (see picture below). The light from the slit is then observed on a second screen and the measured width of the central diffraction peak is found to be 8 mm. Calculate the number of lines per millimetres of the grating. The distance from the slit to the second screen is 1.37 m, the distance from the diffraction grating to the screen with the slit is 5 m, the slit width is 0.25 mm and the distance from the middle of the screen with the slit to the slit is 10 mm..

Calculate the maximum diffraction order observed on a screen in a two slit interference experiment (see picture below) considering that the distance
between two slits is 3.8 mm, the distance to the screen is 2 m. The slits are illuminated by the light with 500 nm wavelength and the size of the screen
is 1 m.
