    5 (a) A diffraction grating is used to determine the wavelength of light.

    (i) Describe the diffraction of light at a diffraction grating.

    (b) A diffraction grating is used with different wavelengths of light. The angle θ of the second
    order maximum is measured for each wavelength. The variation with wavelength λ of sin θ is
    shown in Fig. 5.1.

    (i) Determine the gradient of the line shown in Fig. 5.1.

    gradient = ...........................................................[2]

    (ii) Use the gradient determined in (i) to calculate the slit separation d of the diffraction
    grating.

    d = .......................................................m [2]

    (iii) On Fig. 5.1, sketch a line to show the results that would be obtained for the first order
    maxima. [1]
