We have no way to say what the illustration represents, mainly because
you haven't given us a way to see the illustration.

I think the correct answer would be one half the wavelength. Waves would "feel bottom" when the water is at the depth of 0.5 of the wavelength. "Feel bottom" is a term used to describe that the depth of water affects the wave properties. Hope this answers the question.
You must observe the object twice.
-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.
-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.
-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.
What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point.
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.
Answer:
<em>Part A</em><em>:</em>
a) If the wavelength of the light is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
<em>Part B</em><em>:</em>
b) If the spacing between the slits is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
<em>Part C</em><em>:</em>
a) If the distance to the screen is decreased the fringe spacing will decrease.
<em>Part D</em><em>:</em>
The dot in the center of fringe E is
farther from the left slit than from the right slit.
Explanation:
In the double-slit experiment there is a clear contrast between the dark and bright fringes, that indicate destructive and constructive interference respectively, in the central peak and then is less so at either side.
The position of bright fringes in the screen where the pattern is formed can be calculated with


- m is the order number.
is the wavelength of the monochromatic light.- L is the distance between the screen and the two slits.
- d is the distance between the slits.
- Part A: a) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the wavelength of the light
is decreased the overall effect will be that the fringes are going to be closer. That means that the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
- Part B: b) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the spacing between the slits d is decreased the fringes are going to be wider apart. That means the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
- Part C: a) In the above equation we can see that if the distance to the screen L is decreased the fringes are going to be closer. That means the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
- Part D: We are told that the central maximum is the fringe C that corresponds with m=0. That means that fringe E corresponds with the order number m=2 if we consider it to be the second maximum at the rigth of the central one. To calculate how much farther from the left slit than from the right slit is a dot located at the center of the fringe E in the screen we use the condition for constructive interference. That says that the path length difference Δr between rays coming from the left and right slit must be
We simply replace the values in that equation :


The dot in the center of fringe E is
farther from the left slit than from the right slit.
