Respuesta :

The tangent of θ would be equal 0.5

Answer:

The tangent of θ is 0.5.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance on the screen = 6.0 cm

Distance from the gap to the screen = 12 cm

We need to calculate the angle

The relation between the distance between the fringes and the distance from the gap to the screen.

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

Where, y = distance between the fringes

D = distance from the gap to the screen

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{6.0}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\tan\theta=0.5[/tex]

Hence, The tangent of θ is 0.5.
