A transmission grating is expected to provide an ultimate first-order resolution of at least 1 Å anywhere in the visible spectrum (400 to 700 nm). The ruled width of the grating is to be 2 cm.

a. Determine the minimum number of grooves required.


b. If the diffraction pattern is focused by a 50-cm lens, what is the linear separation of a 1-Å interval in the vicinity of 500 nm?
