Answer

$N=1.36\times 10^4$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $dsin{\theta}=m\lambda$ The above formula can be written as: $d=\frac{m\lambda}{sin{\theta}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=\frac{2(600\times 10^{-9})}{sin(33.0)}=2.2033\mu m$ Now, we find $N$ as: $N=\frac{0.03}{2.2033\times 10^{-6}}=1.36\times 10^4$
