We want to find the half-widths of the m = 7 and m = 20 maxima in the diffraction of light of wavelength λ = 500 nm by a grating with N = 5.00 × 103 rulings and inter-ruling separation (grating spacing) d = 12.0 μm.

Light with wavelength 500 nm passes through a diffraction grating with a spacing of 1 μm between adjacent openings in the grating. The light is projected on a screen 2 m away. At what angle is the first point of constructive interference observed, not counting the central maximum? A) 0.52 radians B) 1.57 radians C) 0.64 radians D) 0.50 radians
