Answer

$\lambda=600nm$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $dsin{\theta}=m\lambda$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $dsin(90)=4\times (450\times 10^{-9})=1.8\times 10^{-6}m$ Now, $dsin{\theta}=m\lambda$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $(1.8\times 10^{-6})sin(90)=3\times (\lambda)$ $\lambda=600\times 10^{-9}m=600nm$
