You are asked to design a spectrometer such that, on a screen located a distance of 3.52 m from a diffraction grating, the m = 3 dark fringe for 550 nm light is located at a distance of 5.1 cm from the (m = 0) center of the screen. How many lines per centimeter should your diffraction grating have?
