Angel is experimenting with a diffraction grating of unknown spacing. He is looking to determine the wavelength of the light in the emission spectrum of a gas and finds that a light having a known wavelength of 623.1nm is deflected by 43.8° away from the central maximum in the second order by this grating. Light of the wavelength to be measured is deflected by 45.4° away from the central maximum in the second order. What is the wavelength of this light in nanometers? Please give your answer as a whole number.
