Question 3

A laser beam is directed normally at a transmission diffraction grating to calibrate a spectrometer. The grating has 3.50×105 lines m−13.50 \times 10^5\text{ lines m}^{-1}3.50×105 lines m−1. The total angular separation between the two third-order diffraction maxima is 82.0∘82.0^\circ82.0∘.

What is the wavelength of the laser light?
