Answer

$3.4^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required angle as follows: $\theta_r=sin^{-1}(mN\lambda_r)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\theta_r=(1)(22\times 10^4m^{-1})(680\times 10^{-9}m)$ $\theta_r=8.60^{\circ}$ and $\theta_b=sin^{-1}(mN\lambda_b)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\theta_b=sin^{-1}(1)(22\times 10^4m^{-1})(410\times 10^{-9}m)$ $\theta_b=5.17^{\circ}$ Now $\theta=\theta_r-\theta_b$ $\implies \theta=8.60^{\circ}-5.17^{\circ}=3.4^{\circ}$
