Homework Statement
In a Young's double-slit experiment, two rays of monochromatic light emerge from the slits and meet at a point on a distant screen, as in the figure below. The point on the screen where these two rays meet is the eighth-order bright fringe. The difference in the distances...
T1 = 1.00*1.4+9.80 = 11.2
-T2 = 4.00*1.4-19.6 = -14
(thanks for all your help and patience so far btw.)
i may be jumping ahead, but in order to find the direction don't you need x and y?
i come up with
-(1.00a + 9.80)-(4.00a-19.6)=2.00a
-29.4 - 5a = 2.00a
-29.4 = 7a
-4.2 = a
does that look correct? would that be the magnitude of the acceleration?
