Red light from three separate sources passes through a diffraction grating with 6.60105 slits/m. The wavelengths of the three lines are 6.56 10-7m (hydrogen), 6.50 * 10-7m (neon), and 6.97 * 10-7m (argon). Part A Calculate the angle for the first-order diffraction line of first source (hydrogen). Express your answer using three significant figures.

Answer:· Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen that is 2.74 m from the grating. In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 3.16 m. What is the difference between these wavelengths?. I know to apply the equation din (theta) = m*wavelength but I'm not sure how to find all the missing variables or to get the difference in wavelengths
