No, the light remains the same light; but it is spread out in a different wavefront.
It can't, and it doesn't.
wave model of light
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
Examples: refraction, reflexion, diffraction, absorption, frequence, energy, wavelength, etc.
Diffraction, with light it splits the colors most notably in a prism.
Light exhibits refraction, diffraction, dispersion, and all the other properties of waves.
diffraction grating is a lik a plate on which many slits are present....light undergoes diffraction through the slits...diffraction grating then splits light into its conctituent colours which appear with spaces between them..
diffraction
Diffraction of light waves is caused by the density of the medium through which the light is passing. Diffraction results when light travels from rarer to denser medium.
Diffraction is the tendency of light to spread around corners.
Light shows wave properties through different conditions such as reflection, diffraction, refraction, Poisson's spot, polarization, and interference.
