21M.2.HL.TZ2.a.ii

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ is normally incident on a diffraction grating. The diagram shows adjacent slits of the diffraction grating labelled V, W and X. Light waves are diffracted through an angle θ to form a second-order diffraction maximum. Points Z and Y are labelled.

  

State, in terms of λ, the path length between points X and Z.
