Effect of slit width and wavelength on diffraction patterns Flashcards
1
Q
what is the Effect of slit width and wavelength on diffraction patterns
A
when waves pass through a slit or an obstruction they bulge when it passes through the hole
2
Q
how is wavelength effected
A
The longer the wavelength of the wave the larger the amount of diffraction.
3
Q
what is Wavelength and Frequency
A
Wavelength:The distance between two successive points in phase.
Frequency:The number of wave pulses per second.
4
Q
what is the relationship between wavelength and frequency
A
the longer the wavelength, thelower the frequency and vice versa.
they are inversely proportional
