What is diffraction and how does it relate to the behavior of light as a wave?
Diffraction means bending. Okay. Bending of what? Bending of waves. Waves may be sound wave, or waves on the surface of water and even light wave. Bending at? Bending at the sharp edges of the obstacle on the way of movement of the wave. If suppose light is not a wave then diffraction phenomenon may not be possible. The very diffraction phenomenon establishes once again that light is a wave.
Bending of a light wave around an object how?
When a light wave encounters an object, it diffracts around it due to its wave nature. This diffraction phenomenon causes the light wave to bend around the edges of the object, leading to patterns of light and shadow. The amount of bending depends on the size of the object and the wavelength of the light.

When light passes through a prism infer how the amount of bending of a light wave depends on the frequency of the light wave. how does the amount of bending depend on the wavelength of the light wave?
The amount of bending certainly CHANGES depending on the frequency, but there is no simple relationship between frequency (or wavelength) on the one hand, and the index of refraction (and therefore the amount of bending) on the other. If by "infer" you mean to calculate this depending on the properties of the material, I don't think there is an obvious way to do this.
When light passes through a prism how does the amount of bending of a light wave depend on the frequency of the light wave?
The question completely dissolves into nothingness when we recall that the frequency and wavelength of a wave are inextricably bound to each other. They don't change independently, and if you know one, then you know the other. So the "amount of bending" compared to frequency, and the "amount of bending" compared to wavelength, are necessarily identical.
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 a light wave called?
The bending of a light wave is called refraction. Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another with a different optical density, causing the light wave to change direction. This phenomenon is commonly observed when light passes through water or a lens.
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
diffraction. It is a phenomenon where a wave, such as light or water, is bent or spread out as it passes through an aperture or around an obstacle. Diffraction is a result of the wave's interaction with the edges of the obstacle or opening.
When a light wave is refracted what happens to it?
When a light wave is refracted, it bends as it passes from one medium to another with a different optical density. The speed of light changes as it enters the new medium, causing the wave to change direction. This bending is due to a change in the wave's velocity.
What is it called when the bending of a light wave slows down after it hits a medium called?
The bending of a light wave as it slows down after hitting a medium is called refraction. This occurs because light travels at different speeds in different mediums, causing the change in direction as it moves from one medium to another.
