Aren't OH- ions produced in the cathode?

Here is the question: Predict the products formed at the anode and at the cathode when NaBr(aq) is electrolysed using inert electrodes Answer: Somehow i got 2 different answers by different answer sheets One of them stated that Br2 gas (anode) and H2 gas (cathode) would be liberated...

It came out as one of the questions in my exams. The exact question was: Why would it be impossible to obtain interference fringes in a double slit experiment if the separation of the slits is less than the wavelength of the light used?

hmm.. sorry sweet springs but i still don't get why you need more than the length of a wavelength between the slits for the experiment

Anyone has answers to Question 1: Why is it required for the slit separation to be at least one wavelength in the double slit experiment? And thanks guys for answering question 2

how does the single slit ensure that the wave reaching the double slit are in phase? Won't light from the same source without the double slit already cause the wave reaching the double slit to be in phase?

Question 1: Why is it required for the slit separation to be at least one wavelength in the double slit experiment? Question 2: Why do we need to place a single slit before a double slit in the double slit experiment? Thanks in advance

so does the natural frequency change?

When a forced oscillation is damped, it is true that the frequency at which resonance occurs decreases right? so does this mean that the natural frequency has decreased too or does it only mean that resonance does not occur at natural frequency when being damped?

haha yea forgot that it was only for conductors cause questions usually deal with conductors. thanks for the correction though, point noted

oh really? i thought an alpha particle is also a 24He

Just wondering, why does the alpha particle which is basically just a helium atom have a 2+ charge on it when you write it although the electronic configuration of the alpha particle is exactly the same as a helium atom?

electric field lines is ALWAYS perpendicular to the surface it hits and also does not cross one another. Thats just a fact

ok so how are u supposed to control the acceleration then.. since the explanation you are giving seems to be the friction controlling the wheel instead of the "driver"... friction only acts on the wheel when the wheel acts on the floor right? so shouldn't it be the other way round? telling me...

i mean explaining both at the same time... not that it happens at the same time... as in explaining both phenomenon using the same concept/theory which does not contradict each other at the same time yes i know that they will only cancel out when they act on the same object... so if in this...
