Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The number of slits in the grating is,

N= 1600 slits

The width of the diffraction grating is,

W =4 cm = 0.04m 

The wavelength of the light illuminated is,

λ= 590 nm = 590×10-9 m

Formula used:

The grating element is the distance between two successive slits.

d =WN

The condition for the diffraction is,

dsinθ = mλ

Where,

m- Order of diffraction

λ- Wavelength of the incident light

d- Grating element

θ- Angle of diffraction
