HURRY!!!!

Which lists the correct steps that occur when using a diffraction grating to bend light?

diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → the eyes see different colors → light strikes the grooves

different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → light strikes the grooves → diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors

diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors → light strikes the grooves → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles

light strikes the grooves → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors

I'm not exactly sure but I'm thinking that it's the last one. Sorry if I'm wrong

Answer:

light strikes the grooves → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → diffracted wavelength reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors

Step-by-step explanation:

A light is a combination of colors which can be separated appropriately by the use of diffraction grating. Diffraction grating is an optical device that splits and diffracts light into several beams and colors with respect to their wavelength. The size of the grooves and wavelength determine the direction of dispersion.
