Since I'm on a roll,

Laser shining through a diffraction grating produces several bright spots according to
[tex] n \lambda = d sin\theta [/tex]
I was wondering when the path difference isn't equal to or a multiple of the wavelength, why don't we see a pattern more like the one on the top right, with slightly constructive interference and completely destructive intereference halfway between each dot?
