Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.

What is the angle of the 2nd order bright fringe produced by two slits that are 8.25x10-5m apart if the wavelength of the incide

dexar [7]

In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):

$d\sin\theta=m\lambda$

Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.

So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 8.25\cdot10^{-5}\cdot\sin\theta=2\cdot4.5\cdot10^{-7}\\ \\ \sin\theta=\frac{9\cdot10^{-7}}{8.25\cdot10^{-5}}\\ \\ \sin\theta=1.091\cdot10^{-2}\\ \\ \theta=0.625° \end{gathered}$

Therefore the correct option is the second one.
