A laser diffraction pattern results in y = 6.0 cm, and the distance from the gap to the screen is D = 12 cm. The tangent of θ would be equal to . Calculating the inverse (tan–1) of the value for the tangent of θ would give us a diffraction angle, θ, of degrees.

Respuesta :

The tangent of θ would be equal to  ⇒ 0.5.

Calculating the inverse (tan–1) of the value for the tangent of θ would give us a diffraction angle, θ, of  ⇒ 27 degree

Answer : [tex]\theta=26.56\ ^0[/tex]

Explanation :

It is given that,

A laser diffraction pattern results in y = 6.0 cm

Distance from gap to the screen, D = 12 cm

We know that the relation between [tex]\theta[/tex], y and D is

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{6\ cm}{12\ cm}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}\ 0.5[/tex]

So, [tex]\theta=26.56\ ^0[/tex]

Hence, this is required solution.
