diffraction is a phenomenon in which a ray of light bents through sharp edges whose dimension is comparable to the wavelength of light...whereas in scattering a mixture of lights splits up into its component colours with help of refraction.

∙ 11y agodiffraction means bending of light and, change in path of light when it entering from one medium to another is called refraction there is two laws regarding refration ie,snell's law and law of plane:-)

∙ 7y agoDiffraction is the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge.
Scattering is the dispersal of a beam of particles or of light radiation into a range of directions as a result of physical interactions.

What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
What is the bending of waves as it passes at an angle from one medium to another?
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.
When waves change speed as they pass from one medium to another is called?
it is called a DIFFRACTION
Is polarization similar to refraction interference or diffraction?
none of the above

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.
A wave changes directions when its speed changes This is called?
Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.
How is refraction from diffraction?
They both involve in like bending. There different because Refraction is the bending of a was as it enters a new medium and Diffraction is the bending of a was as it moves around an obstacle or passes through.
When waves change speed as they pass from one medium to another is called?
it is called a DIFFRACTION
Is polarization similar to refraction interference or diffraction?
none of the above
Is when light bends as it passes through an object?
Yes...supermassive blackholes are a good example.
What are the four wave types?
refraction, diffraction, reflection there are only 3
What are three ways waves change direction?
Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction
How are refraction and diffraction alike?
They aren't. They are two completely different phenomenon.
