Answer:
y = 43.2 cm
Explanation:
As we know by the formula of diffraction we have
[tex]a sin\theta = N\lambda[/tex]
here we have
[tex]\theta = 17.4[/tex]
N = 4
[tex]\lambda = 602 nm[/tex]
now we have
[tex]a sin(17.4) = 4(602\times 10^{-9})[/tex]
[tex]a = 8.05 \times 10^{-6} m[/tex]
now the distance of screen is 138 cm
now we can say
[tex]\frac{y}{L} = tan\theta[/tex]
[tex]y = L tan(\theta)[/tex]
[tex]y = 138 tan(17.4) = 43.2 cm[/tex]
