Interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude.

This is not only on rainy day if we threw oil films on water in light there also we can observe interference pattern.

Water having lightly packed molecules. So the oil spread easily on the water.

Why should not dispersion be the correct answer?

Navi said:   1 decade ago
