How does frequency affect interference? A higher frequency corresponds to a shorter wavelength. Waves of shorter wavelength spread out (diffract) less after passing through the slits, and the short wavelength leads to a smaller angle at which constructive interference (one wavelength path difference between the two waves) will occur. What is interference effect? Interference, in […]

Is it better to steam or boil dumplings? To boil dumplings, fill a large pot two-thirds of the way with water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Steaming is a much faster method as you only need to bring a few cups of water to a boil instead of an entire pot. […]

What is buffer solution give example? Buffer solutions resist a change in pH when small amounts of a strong acid or a strong base are added (Figure 1). A solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate (CH3COOH + CH3COONa) is an example of a buffer that consists of a weak acid and its salt. What […]
