Question

which of the following undergoes maximum diffraction 1] alpha rays 2] gamaa rays 3] radio waves 4] light waves why???????

Answer 1

Answer:

3) Radio Waves

Explanation:

Maximum diffraction occurs when size of obstacle is almost equal to  wavelength of light wave. Hence maximum diffraction occurs for larger wavelength . As wavelength of radio wave is higher than others, maximum  diffraction will occur for it.

Answer 2

Radio waves undergo maximum diffraction. (option 3)

Radio waves have a minimum wavelength due to which it shows maximum diffraction.

• The bending of light waves when it passes through a slit is called diffraction.
• When a wave passes through a slit having has more energy gap than the wavelength then it does not spread much but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs.
• Radio waves have a minimum wavelength due to low frequency.
• This is the reason why radio waves have maximum diffraction.
