For violet sf(theta=41^@)

For blue sf(theta=48.8^@)

Explanation:

For constructive interference to occur, the path difference must be an integral number of wavelengths.

This is AC on the diagram.

:.sf(sintheta=(nlambda)/d)

There are 800 lines in 1 mm.

:.sf(d=1/800=1.25xx10^(-3)color(white)(x)"mm")

sf(d=1.25xx10^(-6)color(white)(x)"m")

For violet light when sf(n=2):

sf(sintheta=(2xx410xx10^(-9))/(1.25xx10^(-6))=0.656)

sf(theta=41^@)

For blue light when sf(n=2):

sf(sintheta=(2xx470xx10^(-9))/(1.25xx10^(-6))=0.752)

sf(theta=48.8^@)
