Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Based on this electric field diagram, which statement best compares the charge of A with B?
lilavasa [31]

Based on this electric field diagram, the statement which best compares the charge of A with B is "A is negatively charged and B is positively charged. The charge on A is greater than that on B".

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The charge is quantized represented as elementary charge, about 1.602×10−19 coulombs. Their are two kinds of electric charging: positive and negative (usually transported, separately, by protons and electrons). Like charges repel each other, while attraction occurs among unlike charges. An entity without net charge is considered neutral. If a piece of matter comprises more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge, when there are fewer, it'll have a positive charge and when there are equal amounts, this will be neutral.
