The spacing of ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1830 rum. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence
with a parallel beam of white light in the 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength band. The second order spectrum and
the third order spectrum overlap. The angular width of the overlap is closest to:
m = 2
