    Optimum gap size for diffraction

    Hi Simon, thanks for replying again, I really appreciate your help! I am doing high school level physics (so it should be pretty basic - no complicated math, or experimentation, it is just purely conceptual), and as for 'most' diffraction, look at the image here...

    Optimum gap size for diffraction

    Hi Simon, thanks for the reply! By width, I mean the width of the slit opening (I am referring to single slit diffraction). As for maximum diffraction, I see how that is not a great way to phrase it. Ignore 'maximum', so instead of "which would cause maximum diffraction", substitute "which...

    Optimum gap size for diffraction

    Homework Statement Is diffraction at a maximum when the width of the gap is similar in length to the wavelength of the light? (ie. W ≈ λ, where w=width) Or is it a maximum when the width is smaller than the wavelength? (i.e W < λ)Thanks for the help!Homework Equations n/a (this is a homework...

    Calculators Change overwrite cursor to insert TI-30x series

    Thanks for the reply @Barely Fannel! I do know that you can insert numbers via second->insert, but I am trying to find a way to change the cursor so I do not have to repeatedly click second->insert. Personally I believe an insert cursor is significantly more intuitive and easier to use than an...

    Calculators Change overwrite cursor to insert TI-30x series

    Currently on the TI 30x calculators, the 'cursor' is a block the hovers above numbers and will overwrite them if a new number is pressed. However, is it possible to change the cursor to a line that sits in between numbers so you can easily insert numbers? I know this is possible on the TI 89...

    Best (non-program) sci. calculator with a viewable memory?

    Thank you so much CalcNerd for your insightful recommendation! you really do know your your calculators. I think I will go and get the TI-36x professional as you recommended, it appears to have significantly more functions than the 30X multi-view. Thanks again for taking time out of your day...

    Best (non-program) sci. calculator with a viewable memory?

    What is the best non-programmable scientific calculator with a scrollable (or otherwise easily accessible) memory of past calculations? I would like to find one where the full decimal/standard answers from past calculations can easily be selected and used for new calculations. I already know...
