An echelle grating is ruled over 12 cm of width with 8 grooves/mm and is blazed at 63°. Determine for a Littrow configuration (a) the range of orders in which the visible spectrum (400 to 700 nm) appears; (b) the total number of grooves; (c) the resolving power and minimum resolvable wavelength interval at 550 nm; (d) the dispersion at 550 nm; (e) the free spectral range, assuming the shortest wavelength present is 350 nm.
