What determines how much a wave diffracts when it encounters an opening or a barrier?
wavelength
What are two wave interactions that can occur when a wave encounters a barrier?
Hi my name is Pedro. I like tacos.
The amount of diffraction that occurs when a sound wave encounters a barrier depends on the waves?
diffraction wavelength
Two wave interactions that can occur when a wave encounters a barrier?
First of all, the scientific term for a barrier is called a "fixed end". And when a wave hits a fixed end, it reflects on the opposite side. Also, the amplitude decreases due to friction.
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.
Which describes the change in the wave as it encounters the barriers?
Refraction.

What's the term for a change in direction of a wave when it encounters an obstacle or edge?
It is called as a reflection of a wave.
The bouncing back or change in direction of a wave after it hits a barrier?
"reflection"
Is amplitude the apparent change in wavelength?
Nope. Amplitude varies as wavelength change. Amplitude of a wave is not related to wavelength. Amplitude describes the strength or forcefulness of a wave, not the length of a wave.
What is a wave that strikes a barrier called?
its called a reflected wave because just like a reflection the wave bounces back of the barrier
What two wave interactions happen when a wave hits a barrier?
i
