What occurs when sound waves apparently bend around an obstacle?
The phenomenon is known as diffraction.
Occurs when sound waves apparently bend around an obstacle.?
The phenomenon is known as 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 do you call the bending waves around an obstacle?
I call it the process of 'diffraction'.
Diffraction occurs when waves what around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.

What occurs when waves hit an obstacle straight on?
Reflection
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 are four different things that can happen to the waves when they meet an obstacle?
In general waves can: Wrap around the obstacle. This happens when the wavelength is larger than obstacle size. Bounce back as an echo off the obstacle. This happens when the wavelength is shorter than the obstacle size. Be absorbed by the obstacle. This occurs when the natural frequency of the obstacle matches the frequency of the wave...so-called resonance. Pass through the obstacle. There are several ways this can happen. But visible light passing through a glass window is one example.
Can light bend around objects?
Yes, light can bend around objects. This phenomenon is known as diffraction and occurs when light waves encounter an obstacle or a small opening. Diffraction causes the light waves to spread out and bend, allowing us to observe patterns such as the bending of light around the edges of a solid object or the interference patterns produced by a narrow slit.

Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.
What is diffraction of waves?
The apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.
What occurs when energy is transferred from light waves to?
absorption
Does Polarized light occurs when light waves vibrate in all directions?
Yes
Is there no difference between diffraction and interference?
INTERFERENCE IS THE MODIFICATION IN THE DISRIBUTION OF LIGHT DUE TO THE SUPERPOSITION OF TWO OR MORE LIGHT WAVES DIFFRACTION IS THE BENDING OF LIGHT WAVES ACROSS THE EDGES OF AN OBSTACLE AND THEIR ENCROACHMENT INTO THEIR GEOMETRICAL SHADOW
