What determines how much a wave diffracts when it encounters an opening or a barrier?
wavelength
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.
Is diffraction the tightening of waves through an opening or edge of an obstacle?
Yes you are very right tip tips to you
Occurs when a wave encounters an object or opening that is close in size to its wavelength?
The wave will get stuck and with all the wind mixing into it can cause very dangerous tornadoes
What do diffraction and refraction have in common?
They both involve light bending. Refraction is where light bends because of entering a denser (or less dense) medium, so it slows and changes direction, moving towards the "normal" if it is entering a more dense medium and away from the "normal" when entering a less dense medium. The normal is a perpendicular imaginary line from the medium.Diffraction involves any wave bending as it hits a corner. An example is light being seen through fog or clouds where light fringes of light and dark bands are produced. this happens to any wave.So the similarities are that they both involve light bending. Hope that answers your question!For GENERAL WAVES:Refraction is the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle. When a wave enters a medium at an angle, refraction occurs because one side of the wave moves more slowly than the other side (one side needs to cover more distance = faster while other side needs to cover less distance = slower speed)Diffraction is the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening. A wave diffracts more if its wavelength is large compared to the size of an opening or obstacle.

What happens when a large wave travels through a small opening?
The wave diffracts and behaves like the opening is a point source.

The answer is Diffraction

Does a wave diffacts more if its wavelength is small copared to the size of a opening or obstacle?
yes

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 is the importance of opening weekend?
Since most people only pay to see a film once in the theater, and pre-opening hype is geared to getting people to want to go see a movie as soon as it opens, any given film will do one quarter to one half of its total business over its opening weekend. Few films have "legs", or stay in the theaters for weeks on end, so, for many films, especially summer blockbusters, a strong or weak opening weekend determines whether the film will be a financial success.
What is a camera's opening called?
Back in the olden days, there used to be an iris in (or close to) the lens of the camera. A clever arrangement of several metal foils that closed as a circle.The magnitude of this opening is known as the f-stop. It is the ratio of the distance between iris and photographic film; to the diameter of the opening. Typical numbers would range from 1 to 32. This feature determines the depth of field of the lens. i.e. the distance range over which the scene is in approximate focus.
