In what ways are directions slightly distorted on the gore map

Distorted maps attempt a compromise, cutting the terrestrial surface along some arbitrarily chosen lines, then projecting each lobe (or gore, in case of interruptions, repeat periodically along related lines like meridians), separately with lower overall deformation. Gore boundaries are often designed to fall on less important areas, like oceans.

Answer:

As explained below,

Explanation:

A map projection is made to show the Area, Shape, Distance, and Direction. The properties of a map define its angle of distortion on the earth as earth also rotates on its axis around the sun and to study the earth the world needs to be represented on a plain sheet of paper.

So, choosing a projection surface is quite a difficult task as the sheet has to be stretched around the earth thus forming cylinder shape and hence distorting the poles.

Mercator projection is considered to a best-suited projection for the earth from the east to west stretch but it distorts Greenland as it flattens the earth and reduces the equator.

A conical projection likewise also creates some distortions as it deforms from away from standard parallels

A pair of slits separated by 1 mm, are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 411 nm. The light falls on a screen 1.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

$\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.79$

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

$Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}$

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

$\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}$

now the shift is given as

$Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

given that the shift is

$Shift = 0.37 \delta x$

here we have

$0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

now plug in all values in it

$0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}$

$t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m$

$t = 0.192 \mu m$
