    = 403 nm

    Explanation:

    We have the condition for the maximum for a diffraction grating

    d sinθ = mλ

    Then the grating constant d = w/N

    = (75 mm) / (50,000)

    = 0.0015 mm

    Then wavelength of light is λ = (dsinθ) / m

    = (0.0015 mm) (sin 32.5) / 2

    =403*10-6 mm

    = 403 nm
