Answer

1400 lines/cm

Work Step by Step

The number of slits per cm is the reciprocal of the slit width (measured in cm). Use equation 24–4 to find 1/d. $$d sin \theta = m \lambda $$ $$\frac{1}{d}=\frac{ sin \theta}{ m \lambda }$$ $$=\frac{ sin 15.0^{\circ}}{3(6.20\times10^{-5}cm)}$$ $$=\frac{1392}{cm}= \frac{1400}{cm}$$
