- beam of monochromatic light is incident on a single slit of width 0.560 mm. A diffraction pattern forms on a wall 1.20 m beyond the slit. The distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central maximum is 2.36 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light. nm A helium-neon laser (A = 632.8 nm) is used to calibrate a diffraction grating. If the first-order maximum occurs at 20.1 Degree , what is the spacing between adjacent grooves in the grating?
