The bending of a wave around a barrier or an opening?
diffraction
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 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 bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening called?
Diffraction
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.

Is diffraction the tightening of waves through an opening or edge of an obstacle?
Yes you are very right tip tips to you
Is diffraction more pronounced through a large opening or a small opening?
A smaller opening.
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 is the difference between diffraction and diffusion?
Diffraction is the spreading of waves that pass through a narrow opening or move past an obstacle ,whereas, interference is the phenomenon of redistribution of light in a medium as a result of light waves from two coherent sources.
