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

First, light strikes the grating’s grooves. The grooves diffract the light, sending different wavelengths in different directions; those separated wavelengths then reach the eyes, where they are perceived as different colors. Therefore, the correct sequence is “light strikes the grooves → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors,” choice D.
