Light containing three colors with wavelengths of 600 nm (orange), 580 nm (yellow), 445 nm (indigo) shines on a diffraction grating with 753 lines/mm. An interference pattern is seen on a screen 0.5 m away. (a) The order of the colors seen on the screen is (the first is closest to the center and the last is furthest from the center) O indigo, orange, yellow. indigo, yellow, orange. O yellow, indigo, orange. O orange, yellow, indigo. (b) Calculate the distance between the first order orange and the second order indigo (on the same side of the center). Keep at least three decimal places in your answer.
