For small angles $sinθ−tanθ≈θ(in radians)sinθ−tanθ≈θ(in radians)$.

For two adjacent fringes we have,

$d sin θ m = mλ d sin θ m = mλ$

and

$d sin θ m + 1 = m + 1 λ d sin θ m + 1 = m + 1 λ$

Subtracting these equations gives

$d sin θ m + 1 − sin θ m = m + 1 − m λ d θ m + 1 − θ m = λ tan θ m = y m x ≈ θ m ⇒ d y m + 1 x − y m x = λ d Δ y x = λ ⇒ Δ y = xλ d d sin θ m + 1 − sin θ m = m + 1 − m λ d θ m + 1 − θ m = λ tan θ m = y m x ≈ θ m ⇒ d y m + 1 x − y m x = λ d Δ y x = λ ⇒ Δ y = xλ d$

The number of slits in this diffraction grating is too large. Etching in integrated circuits can be done to a resolution of 50 nm, so slit separations of 400 nm are at the limit of what we can do today. This line spacing is too small to produce diffraction of light.

(a) Yes. Should easily be able to discern.

(b) The fact that it is just barely possible to discern that these are separate bodies indicates the severity of atmospheric aberrations.
