Why does a diffraction grating will separate while light into colors?
A diffraction grating does not disperse light into its component colors. However, a prism does. A diffraction grating simply causes light to diffract and display an interference pattern on a screen.
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.
Which term describes the bending of a wave around an object?
"Diffraction" does.
What is the bending of waves as it passes at an angle from one medium to another?
Diffraction.
Why diffraction occur?
Diffraction example: you run or bounce into somthing and, the wave goes around the object. This is called diffraction.
What wireless signal splits into secondary waves when it encounters an obstruction?

A wave changes directions when its speed changes This is called?
Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.
Is interference a special case of diffraction or diffraction is a special case of interference?
neither is the case since diffraction involves the bending of waves upon contact or lack thereof of a physical boundary. a double slit experiment works on the basis of diffraction and also forms a distinctive interference pattern so in this case the two are related and the diffraction causes the interference but isn't necessarily a case of interference.

What is the principles of x ray diffraction?
The idea is that, due to the small wavelength of X-rays, atoms can serve as a diffraction grid - causing diffraction patterns. (If you don't know about diffraction, I suggest you search in the questions for "diffraction", or ask a separate question for diffraction.) Crystals are good for this, because of their regular structure.
What causes loss of television signal when its raining?
Rain.
Can you see diffraction in water?
Diffraction can be observed in any medium.
