Light is incident normally on a diffraction grating through which the first order diffraction is seen at 32°. The second order diffraction will be seen at 

a
48°
b
64°
c
80°
d
There is no second order diffraction in this case

detailed solution

Correct option is D

For a grating (e+d)sinθn=nλwhere (e + d) = grating element sinθn=nλ(e+d)For n = 1, sinθ1=λ(e+d)=sin32°This is more than 0.5. Now sinθ will be more than 2×0.5, which is not possible.
