Why is it easier to divert microwaves around an object then to divert light waves?
actually microwaves are easier to bend than light waves because microwaves are larger than light waves
What is a sound wave bending around a corner?
diffraction
Why can you hear someone but not see them from another room?
You can hear the people speaking because sound waves are reflected off of other objects (walls, trees, etc.). When the waves are reflected, they can still make it to your position and allow you to continue hearing the people as they walk. Sound waves bend around the corner.
Is a bird looking at a mirror an example of light being refracted?
Nope. That's reflection, where light waves bounce back. Refraction is where they bend, like through a lens.
Why does light bend when it enters the eye?
The curved surface of the cornea turns light waves inward toward the lens (a sturdy tissue inside the outer eye) which focuses light on the retina at the back of the inner eye.

How does sound bend as in Sound Refraction?
The sound waves hit something and bend.
Do sound waves bend around objects?
Yes.
Why can you hear around corners but cannot see around corners?
Sound waves have a longer wavelength which allows them to bend around corners more than light waves.
How can you make light bend?
by radiation waves
Can sound bend light?
no
What is the difference between Sound Reflection and Sound Refraction?
refraction is where the soubd waves bend, reflection is when sound waves bounce off of things and change direction.
What is a sound wave bending around a corner?
diffraction
Do Light waves bend or refract at what between two media?
They bend at the interface between two media.
What occurs when sound waves apparently bend around an obstacle?
The phenomenon is known as diffraction.

The phenomenon is known as diffraction.
How do objects bend light?
The object refracts the light, because of the bending of light or waves as it passes from the material to another.
