Determine the slit spacing d. Explain which measurement you made, show your calculation and your result for the slit spacing. There are several measurements you can make.

The quantities to measure are:

* the distance to the screen

* The distance from the central maximum to each interference

* in order of interference

* wavelength

Explanation:

To determine the gap spacing we must use the constructive interference equation

            d sin θ = m λ

as the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

          tan θ = sin θ

and the definition of tangent is

          tan θ = y / L

Thus

         sin θ = y / L

when replacing

          d y / L = m λ

          d = m λ L / y

with this equation we can know what parameter should be measured.

The quantities to measure are:

* the distance to the screen

* The distance from the central maximum to each interference

* in order of interference

* wavelength

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
