In the laser lab, temperature is used to control the wavelength of the laser, and a grating and several mirrors are used to convert the change of wavelength to change of laser beam propagation direction and finally to the change of position of the laser spot on the grid paper.

If the groove separation is 0.5 micrometers, the distance between the grating and the paper is 1 meters, and if the wavelength change is 2 nm, how much does the spot move on the paper?

Please show all work.

Why does the laser get a unique wavelength?

An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam.

An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition with two tiny slits separated by 0.185 mm. An interference pattern appears on a screen that lies 4.80 m from the slit pair. The Instructor's measurements show that two adjacent bright interference fringes lie 1.59 cm apart on the screen. What is the laser's wavelength (in nm)?
