//Example 2_1 clc(); clear; //To calculate the no of lines in one cm of grating surface k=2 lamda=5*10^-5 //units in cm theta=30 //units in degrees //We have nooflines=1/e=(k*lamda)/sin(theta) nooflines=sin(theta*%pi/180)/(k*lamda) //units in cm printf("No of lines per centimeter is %.f",nooflines) //In text book the answer is printed wrong as 10^3 //The correct answer is 5*10^3
