i did it and got it right guys i hope it helps a lot
The cart is going left is your answer
Distance is a scalar and measured only by units (meters, feet). Position is a vector and depends on where the origin is. It can be negative or positive and has direction.
So first we find the gap between the slits by the formula d=1/N
<span>N is number of lines per metre so 3700 line/cm = 370000 lines/m </span>
<span>So d=2.7*10^-6 </span>
<span>Now we use the formula dsin(angle)=n(wavelength) </span>
<span>d is the same </span>
<span>n is the order of the diffraction pattern </span>
<span>so wavelenth=dsin(angle)/n </span>
<span>=[(2.7*10^-6)*sin30]/3 </span>
<span>=4.5*10^-7 m</span>
Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile
The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile
The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.
