strange question o_O okay here goes remember that maxima and minima are formed at alternating points for e.g if n=1 is maxima then n=3,5,7 can only be used for the n values the angle and grating are the same so dsinO is a constant and nλ should be equal to it so just put in the n values in that and find the corresponding wavelenght for this question n=3 gives 417nm so 420nm to 2 s.f hope this helped

Thank u .. But a bit of more elaboration would be just perfect! Please
Thank u :)

I was stuck in this for a while because i forgot that i was doing physics, i was using mechanics xD

Well you can use two ways, 2gs=v^2-u^2, or K.E lost = P.E gained (Since air resistance is neglected).
Well in the case of 2gh=v^2 - u^2 , here you can use the values of g = -9.8 [because it is going upwards], v= 0 [because at max height the velocity is 0] , u=16 [given]
And easily get the value of h,

Or
Using K.E = P.E -------- K.E = 8.32, [solved in last question] , and P.E = mgh, with their respective values. g = 9.8 , m = 0.065, Solve and you will get the answer.

sorry but i asked for b(ii) part ,the question which asked for ratio of P.E and K.E

since "d" and sin(θ) are constant we can answer this question only by substituting values in "n" an "λ"
In part ii) we have n=2 and λ=625 nm so we can find the value of constant nλ which will help us to answer this question
nλ= 2*625=1250

Now lets put different values of n,
when n=1 we get corresponding wavelength as 1250nm
when n=3, λ=417
when n=4, λ=312.5

Since the wavelength of visible light is from 7*10^-7 to 4*10^-7 m
the only answer in range is 417nm (420nm to 2d.p)

Hope it helps:)
