Answer

$\lambda=469~nm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required wavelength as follows: $\lambda=\frac{dsin\theta}{m}$......eq(1) But we know that $tan\theta=\frac{y}{L}$ $\implies \theta=ta^{-1}(\frac{y}{L})$ We plug in the values of $\theta$ in eq(1) and $d=\frac{1}{N}$ to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{sin(tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{L}))}{mN}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{sin(tan^{-1}(\frac{0.164}{1}))}{1(345000)}$ $\lambda=469~nm$
