Diffraction, Wavelength and Slit Width Diffraction Occurs For All Waves Diffraction only occurs for Electromagnetic Waves The longer the wavelength the more rapidly waves spread out The narrower the slit or opening the more rapidly the wave spreads out The wider the slit or opening the more rapidly the wave spreads out Diffraction only occurs for Mechanical Waves The shorter the wavelength the faster the wave spreads out The greater the amplitude of the wave the faster it spreads out.

A rocket ship floating in empty space suddenly turns on its engines and begins to rapidly accelerate toward the earth. In the first second of the acceleration, what effect would you see in the wavelength of radio signals beamed from the spacecraft back toward the earth? a) The wavelength would suddenly become shorter because the ship is now moving toward us. b) The wavelength would be unaffected because the acceleration in the first second would not yet produce a significant velocity. c) The wavelength would be longer because the transmitter is in an accelerated frame and the equivalence principle states it would slow down like a clock in a gravitational field. d) The wavelength would be shorter because the transmitter is in an accelerated frame and the equivalence principle states that it would speed up like a clock coming toward us.
