Two gratings A and B have slit separations dA and dB, respectively. They are used with the same light and the same observation screen. When grating A is replaced with grating B, it is observed that the first-order maximum of A is exactly replaced by the second-order maximum of B. (a) Determine the ratio dB/dA (No units) of the spacings between the slits of the gratings. Then find the next two principla maxima of grating A and the principal maxima of B that exactly replace them when the gratings are switched [(b) and (c) for the first pair, (d) and (e) for the second pair]. Identify these maxima by their order numbers (No units), listing the maxima for grating B first.
