Saponification is the hydrolysis of fats or oils under basic conditions to afford glycerol and the salt of the corresponding fatty acid. ... It is important to the industrial user to know the amount of free fatty acid present, since this determines in large measure the refining loss.

5. The amplitude of the ripples decreases as the circumference of the circle increases.

<h3>What is a wave?</h3>

A wave is a disturbance that moves energy from one place to another.

Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, called photons, each travelling in a wave-like pattern at the speed of light. Hence, the statement is true.

As the disturbance moves outwards the energy it carries is spread over a larger and larger region called the wavefront. For example, the ripples in the water lie in a circle with an ever-increasing circumference. The amplitude of the ripples decreases as the circumference of the circle increases.
