A diffraction grating has 1 350 rulings/cm. On a screen 2.50 m from the grating, it is found that for a particular order m, the maxima corresponding to two closely spaced wavelengths of sodium (589.0 nm and 589.6 nm) are separated by 0.66 mm. Determine the value of m.

*I am extremely confused about this problem, please show all work and clearly explain how you got the answer*

Light from a Hydrogen lamp is focused through a diffraction grating with 770 lines/cm and the diffraction pattern is shown on a screen that is 5.30 m away. You notice in the pattern that there are two distinct purple dots that are 16.46 cm and 17.70 cm from the central maximum, corresponding to the first-order maxima for two different wavelengths of light emitted by the lamp. What is the difference between the two wavelengths (in nm) corresponding to these purple...
