when something looks bent when you put a straw in a cup of water and it looks bent that is difraction

How do you calculate difurcation ratio?

There is no such thing as "difurcation". Please check the spelling, and ask another question, clarifying whether you mean "bifurcation", "difraction", or perhaps something entirely different.


What causes wave difraction?

Wave diffraction is caused by the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings in a barrier. When waves encounter an obstacle, they spread out and bend around it, creating a wave pattern with areas of constructive and destructive interference. This phenomenon is a result of the wave's ability to propagate in different directions as it encounters varying obstacles in its path.


How does difraction extend the range of UHF wave propagation?

Diffraction allows UHF waves to bend around obstacles in their path, reaching areas that would otherwise be obstructed by line-of-sight barriers. This bending effect enables UHF waves to propagate beyond obstacles and extend their range, improving coverage in urban environments and overcoming shadowing effects.


How do you make a venndiagram of reflection refraction and difraction?

To create a Venn diagram to show the relationship between reflection, refraction, and diffraction, you can start by drawing three overlapping circles. Place reflection in one circle, refraction in another, and diffraction in the third. Where the circles overlap, you can show the instances where these phenomena can occur simultaneously, such as in the case of a prism splitting light into a spectrum (involving refraction and diffraction).


What does difraction look like?

Diffraction appears as a pattern of light and dark fringes or bands when waves, such as light or sound, encounter an obstacle or pass through a narrow opening. This bending and spreading of waves create a series of constructive and destructive interference patterns. In optics, diffraction can be seen as a colorful halo around light sources or as patterns on surfaces when light passes through slits. Overall, it showcases the wave nature of light and other forms of radiation.


In single slit if width of slit increased what will happen?

if the width of one slit is increased relative to the other the slit separation must decrease and since slit sep is inversely proportional to fringeseparationthe fringes become closer together.

What is the use of gas chromatography in food industry?

Chromatographydates to 1903 in the work of the Russian scientist, Mikhail Semenovich Tswett. Germangraduate student Fritz Priordeveloped solid state gas chromatography in 1947. Archer John Porter Martin, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in developing liquid-liquid (1941) and paper (1944) chromatography, laid the foundation for the development of gas chromatography and he later produced liquid-gas chromatography (1950). Erika Cremerlaid the groundwork, and oversaw much of Prior's work.[edit]GC analysisA gas chromatograph is a chemical analysis instrument for separating chemicals in a complex sample. A gas chromatograph uses a flow-through narrow tube known as the column, through which different chemical constituents of a sample pass in a gas stream (carrier gas, mobile phase) at different rates depending on their various chemical and physical properties and their interaction with a specific column filling, called the stationary phase. As the chemicals exit the end of the column, they are detected and identified electronically. The function of the stationary phase in the column is to separate different components, causing each one to exit the column at a different time (retention time). Other parameters that can be used to alter the order or time of retention are the carrier gas flow rate, column length and the temperature.In a GC analysis, a known volume of gaseous or liquid analyte is injected into the "entrance" (head) of the column, usually using a microsyringe(or, solid phase microextraction fibers, or a gas source switching system). As the carrier gas sweeps the analyte molecules through the column, this motion is inhibited by the adsorption of the analyte moleculeseither onto the column walls or onto packing materials in the column. The rate at which the molecules progress along the column depends on the strength of adsorption, which in turn depends on the type of molecule and on the stationary phase materials. Since each type of molecule has a different rate of progression, the various components of the analyte mixture are separated as they progress along the column and reach the end of the column at different times (retention time). A detector is used to monitor the outlet stream from the column; thus, the time at which each component reaches the outlet and the amount of that component can be determined. Generally, substances are identified (qualitatively) by the order in which they emerge (elute) from the column and by the retention time of the analyte in the column.[edit]Physical componentsDiagram of a gas chromatograph.[edit]AutosamplersThe autosampler provides the means to introduce a sample automatically into the inlets. Manual insertion of the sample is possible but is no longer common. Automatic insertion provides better reproducibility and time-optimization.Different kinds of autosamplers exist. Autosamplers can be classified in relation to sample capacity (auto-injectors vs. autosamplers, where auto-injectors can work a small number of samples), to robotic technologies (XYZ robot vs. rotating robot - the most common), or to analysis:LiquidStatic head-space by syringe technologyDynamic head-space by transfer-line technologySolid phase microextraction (SPME)Traditionally autosampler manufacturers are different from GC manufacturers and currently no GC manufacturer offers a complete range of autosamplers. Historically, the countries most active in autosampler technology development are the United States, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.[edit]InletsThe column inlet (or injector) provides the means to introduce a sample into a continuous flow of carrier gas. The inlet is a piece of hardware attached to the column head.Common inlet types are:S/SL (split/splitless) injector; a sample is introduced into a heated small chamber via a syringe through a septum - the heat facilitates volatilizationof the sample and sample matrix. The carrier gas then either sweeps the entirety (splitless mode) or a portion (split mode) of the sample into the column. In split mode, a part of the sample/carrier gas mixture in the injection chamber is exhausted through the split vent. Split injection is preferred when working with samples with high analyte concentrations (>0.1%) whereas splitless injection is best suited for trace analysis with low amounts of analytes (
