In the equation d sin $\theta$ = m $\lambda$  for the lines of a diffraction grating, m is:
A)the number of slits
B)the slit width
C)the slit separation
D)the order of the line
E)the index of refraction

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the equation, "m" represents the order of the line, which is determined by the constructive interference of light waves from different slits in the grating. The other factors such as the number of slits, slit width, slit separation, and index of refraction do not directly affect the order of the line.
