A diffraction grating with n = 2.5E-05 lines/nm is used to separate two colors of light. The angle between their first maxima is Δθ ≡ θ1 - θ2 = 0.18 degrees, and the first light has wavelength λ1 = 591 nm. Find θ1 using n and λ1 in radians.  Find θ2 in radians.  Find the value of the wavelength of the second color λ2 in nm.
