Describe how light diffracts at a diffraction grating.
Using interference, explain the zero order maximum.
Using interference, explain the first order maximum.
Determine the gradient of the line drawn in Fig. 5.1.
Use the gradient found in (i) to calculate the slit separation $d$ of the diffraction grating.
On Fig. 5.1, sketch a line to show the results that would be obtained for the first order maxima.
