5. A car starting at position 10m travels out to position 67m and turns around and speeds back to position 16m. What distance was covered? What was
the displacement of the car?

The goal of this experiment was to answer the question, "how does diffraction occur? " suppose you formulated this alternate hypothesis: if the gap width is increased while keeping wavelength constant, then the observed diffraction will decrease because the less the ratio between wavelength and gap width is, the smaller the observed diffraction angle will be.to test this hypothesis, you would change the  gap widthdiffraction anglewavelength  and observe the  gap widthdiffraction anglewavelength  in the system.therefore, the independent variable would be the  gap widthdiffraction anglewavelength  and the dependent variable would be the  gap widthdiffraction anglewavelength.
