White light passes through sodium vapor and is then analyzed
with a prism. The resulting spectrum

consists of spectral lines.

a) Light with a wavelength of 600 nm is incident on a single
slit whose width is 0.01 mm. The screen is 80 cm from the slit.
Calculate the distance between the first-order minimum and the
centre.
b) Monochromatic light with a frequency of 5.50x1014
Hz is directed through a diffraction grating ruled with
6.00x103 lines/m. What is the distance between the third
bright band and the fifth dark band of the interference pattern
formed on a screen 2.50 m from the grating?
