What is defraction of light?
diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier such as an obstacle or the edges of an opening. Every wave is the source of another wave. Yes, and each different wavelength of light is bent at a different angle, thus separating the visual (color) spectrum which allows you to see a rainbow effect.
What do you mean by diffraction of light?

Yes, and each different wavelength of light is bent at a different angle, thus separating the visual (color) spectrum which allows you to see a rainbow effect.
When light is diffracted it bends around a barrier?
Yes it seems so. As per Huygen's priciple the secondary wavelets would travel even beyond the edges.
What is the bending of a light wave called?
It is called refraction
What is diffraction of a signal and what causes it?
Diffraction is the bending of signal at the sharp edges of the obstacles. Because of the wave nature of the signal the phenomenon of diffraction becomes possible

Requirements of joints in rigid pavement?
to resist the slab from bending moment at the edges and stop moment of the edges when the vehicles moves the approaching direction

What is the reason of laser beam divergence?
the reason for divergence of laser beam is basically diffraction which causes bending of light at the edges and consequently divergence
What is diffraction of a signal and what causes it?
Diffraction is the bending of signal at the sharp edges of the obstacles. Because of the wave nature of the signal the phenomenon of diffraction becomes possible
What is one piece of evidence that supports sea floor spreading?
Formation of new ocean/sea floor at the edges or divergence/separation.
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.
How many edges does a heptagon pyramid?
A pyramid with a heptagonal base will have seven edges at the bottom, and seven edges around the circumference, so 14 edges in total.
Is the number of edges on the base of a pyramid is twice the total number of edges?
No, it is the other way around. The total number of edges is twice the number of edges on the base.
Are there coral reefs in the Neritic Zone?
Yes, where coral reefs are found along the edges of continents; Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Florida USA are two examples. However, many are found around volcanic islands or their remains(atolls).
