It is illustrated numerically in the table below.

When an angle measured in radians is very small, you can approximate the value using small angle approximations;

We can find approximations of the trigonometric functions for small angles measured in radians by considering their graphs near input values of π‘₯ = 0.

The angles are in radians, so :2 = :2 radians 11:4 (multiply by 180= to convert.

Now everyone also knows that the small angle approximation for $\cos$ is just the truncated ($o(\theta^3)$) taylor series, and it's fairly easy to see that for small $\theta$:

When we were able to derive until the part where $n \lambda =a \sin(\theta)$, we need to apply small angle approximation and get to $n \lambda =a \tan(\theta)$.

Let’s start with 𝑦 = π‘₯ s i n and compare it to.

It's not because of the multiple slits in the grating, but because the slits are much closer together than young's slits.
