Problem

Describe how the numerical values of $ sin\thetaand and \theta(with (with \thetaexpressedinradians)divergeas expressed in radians) diverge as \thetaincreasesfrom0toabout increases from 0 to about 15^\circ$, and state the physical implication of this divergence for predicting double-slit fringe positions using the small-angle approximation.
