29Diffraction Diffraction GratingsHard1 mark
Light of wavelength 400 nm passes normally through a diffraction grating with a line spacing of m and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen.
an incident light ray travelling horizontally strikes a diffraction grating (a short vertical dashed line); a second-order diffracted ray and a fourth-order diffracted ray both leave the grating above the incident direction at different angles and strike a screen to the right, with the angle α marked at the grating between the second-order and fourth-order rays
What is the angle between the second-order and the fourth-order diffracted rays?
