Assume a 2D plane and both the birds start at origin. +X is east, -X is west, +Y is North, -Y is South.
So, after travel position of bird1 is (-2.8, 2.7) and bird2 is (-2.7,2.8);
slope of bird1 is 2.8/2.7
slope of bird2 is 2.7/2/8
Now we have two solpes b1 and b2
formula = (b2-b1)/(1+b1*b2);
Answer:
The grating spacing of the beetle is
Explanation:
The concept to solve this problem is relate to interference effect given in the Young's Slits. Here was demonstrated that the length of the side labelled \lambda is known as the path difference. The equation is given by,
Where,
= wavelenght of light
N = a positive integer: 1,2,3...
= Angle from the center of the wall to the dark spot
d= width of the slit
Replacing our values we have that for n=1,
Therefore the grating spacing of the beetle is
