Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

BC =980nm

Explanation:

Given wavelength =490nm

m=2

Required to find (OB - OC) = BC (more distant slit - nearest slit ) = dsin theta

We have dsin theta = m*wavelength

or BC = m* wavelength = 2*490nm

= 980nm = 98.000A
