The diffraction grating — practice question

White light is made up of many wavelengths. The wavelength of red light R is about twice that of violet light V. If white light is directed normally onto a diffraction grating, a number of spectra may be produced. Which diagram shows the possible arrangement of light in the first order and the second order spectra?
