The maximum diffraction order seen is 3.

<h3>What is the maximum diffraction order seen?</h3>

We know that the maximum angle of diffraction Q_m of the furthest bright fringe < Q = 90 degrees.

Here we need to compute the nth bright fringe for which is approximated to 90 degrees.

The angle of nth bright fringe is given by;

sin(Q_m) = n(λ)N

Approximating Q_m ≈ 90 degrees.

sin (90) = nλN

n = sin (90) / (λN)

n = 1 / ((580 x 10⁻⁶)500)

n = 3.5 orders

Since, we knew that Q_m < 90 degrees, we will choose n = 3 as the maximum number of orders.

Thus, the maximum diffraction order seen is 3.

What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change
zysi [14]

Physical changes are those which do not affect the chemical properties of a substance. For example, when a paper is cut, the two pieces obtained are still paper. The chemical properties have not changed. Only, physically when one piece is cut to two. A chemical change occurs when the chemical properties change and a new substance with different chemical properties is obtained. For example, when the paper is burnt, it turns to ashes. Hence, this is a chemical change.

When a substance undergoes a physical change, the physical properties of the substance changes like the state (solid to liquid during melting), shape, size, volume etc. Many physical changes are reversible whereas, in general many chemical changes are irreversible.
