When salt is sprinkled on a flame, yellow light consisting of two closely space wavelengths
11=588.997 nm and 12=589.594 nm are produced (they were observed by Fraunhofer in the
Sun's spectrum).
a) If this light falls on a diffraction grating with 300 lines/mm (pay attention to the units!),
what is the angle between the 2nd order spectra of these two wavelengths?
b) How many lines N of this grating must be illuminated for these lines to just be resolved?
