Question 35

The diagram shows plane wavefronts incident on a gap in a barrier.

To make the waves spread out less (i.e., to decrease the amount of diffraction that occurs after passing through the gap), which pair of changes must be made?

A

Decrease the frequency of the waves and decrease the width of the gap.

B

Increase the frequency of the waves and increase the width of the gap.

C

Increase the wavelength of the waves and increase the width of the gap.

D

Decrease the wavelength of the waves and decrease the width of the gap.
