\begin{array}{l} y=\frac{D \lambda}{d} \\ \text { or } n_{1} \frac{D \lambda_{1}}{d}=n_{2} \frac{D \lambda_{2}}{d} \\ n_{1} \lambda_{1}=n_{2} \lambda_{2} \\ \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}=\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}} \\ n_{2}=n_{1} \cdot \frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}} \Rightarrow 16 \times \frac{700}{400}=28 \end{array}
