What is the difference between waves bending due to refraction and diffraction?
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another medium (like from air to glass). The basis for refraction is the speed of light is slightly different in the two mediums. Diffraction is the bending of light that occurs around a sharp edge (like light passing thru a slit). The basis for diffraction is the spreading out of the wave as it passes by the sharp edge.
What is the bending of light at the edge of a material?
Refraction
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.
The bending of a wave that results from the interaction between a wave and the edge of an object?

Diffraction occurs when waves around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction is phenomena that occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle. This happens when a wave reaches an obstacle that is comparable in size to it.
What is the bending of waves around the edge of the barrier called?
Diffraction
What is the opening at the edge of a forest called?
The opening of a forest is called a glade.
What happens to a wave when it passes an edge or an opening?
It undergoes diffraction. Please see the related link for more information.

what the difference between concave and convex?
Concave means bending inward, convex means bending outward.Concave . . .- thinnest in the middle- thickest around the edge- holds waterConvex . . .- thinnest around the edge- thickest in the middle- water runs off
