Answer:
The quantities to measure are:
* the distance to the screen
* The distance from the central maximum to each interference
* in order of interference
* wavelength
Step-by-step 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.
