Diffraction of Light

Problem 5.128

Light with wavelength 530nm530 \mathrm{nm} falls on a transparent diffraction grating with period 1.50μm.1.50 \mu \mathrm{m} . Find the angle, relative to the grating normal, at which the Fraunhofer maximum of highest order is observed provided the light falls on the grating (a) at right angles; (b) at the angle 6060^{\circ} to the normal.
