Why can you see a rainbow on a CD?
It's called diffraction - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction.
Water waves bending around a dock is an example of?
It is an example of diffraction.
What is the bending of waves around the edge of a barrier called?
Diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle under specific circumstances.
Which term describes the bending of a wave around an object?
"Diffraction" does.
What is diffraction and how does it relate to the behavior of light as a wave?
Diffraction means bending. Okay. Bending of what? Bending of waves. Waves may be sound wave, or waves on the surface of water and even light wave. Bending at? Bending at the sharp edges of the obstacle on the way of movement of the wave. If suppose light is not a wave then diffraction phenomenon may not be possible. The very diffraction phenomenon establishes once again that light is a wave.

As the wavelength decreases what happens to wave diffraction?
As wavelength decreases the wave diffraction will decrease, so the curve formed will be less noticeable. The sharpness of the diffraction will decrease that you can see will lessen.

Diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle under specific circumstances.
How does rainbows form?
it forms due to internal reflection and diffraction of water droplets.

What are non examples of diffraction?
think of a wall in the water with a gap in the middle. waves come straight at the wall but as the waves go through the gap they bend. this is called diffraction.
What are the examples of Reflections of Water waves and what is it all about?
The examples of reflection of water waves include reflection, refraction and diffraction.
How do you break white light without a prism?
You can break white light without a prism by using a device called a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating has thinly etched lines; you can see this effect by noticing the rainbows you see from the bottom of a DVD.
Do a pencil partically immersed in water appear bent because of diffraction of light?
Yes.
What splits light into a spectrum for analysis?
A prism, a diffraction grating, a water droplet, etc.
