A physics instructor wants to project a spectrum of visible light colors from 400 nm to 700

Question:

A physics instructor wants to project a spectrum of visible light colors from 400 nm to 700 nm as part of a classroom demonstration. She shines a beam of white light through a diffraction grating that has 500 lines per mm, projecting a pattern on a screen 2.4 m behind the grating.

a. How wide is the spectrum that corresponds to m = 1?

b. How much distance separates the end of the m = 1 spectrum and the start of the m = 2 spectrum?
