A reflection grating is required that can resolve wavelengths as close as 0.02 Å in second order for the spectral region around 350 nm. The grating is to be installed in an instrument where light from the entrance slit is incident normally on the grating. If the manufacturer provides rulings over a 10-cm grating width, determine (a) the minimum number of grooves/cm required; (b) the optimum blaze angle for work in this region; (c) the angle of diffraction where irradiance is maximum (show both blaze angle and diffraction angle on a sketch); (d) the dispersion in nanometers per degree.
