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
Does diffraction cause dimonds and other gems to sparkle?
no
Can diffraction cause diamonds to sparkle?
The physics of light and diamond interaction can be endlessly fascinating to humans. According to Wikipedia: "In classical physics, the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Similar effects occur when light waves travel through a medium with a varying refractive index..." The refractive index of diamond is 2.4175, which is an exceptionally large number (there are no units for index of refraction). Whether what you see, then, when your eyes receive the light from a diamond is diffraction or the diamond's refractive index is open for discussion and debate.
Predict whether a greater amount of energy will be trans ferred as heat between 1 kg of water at 10C and a freezer at -15C or between 1kg of water at 60C and an oven at 65C?
The formula for determining the amount of heat energy is q = m x C x ΔT, where q = amount of heat energy gained or lost by a substance, m = mass of substance in grams, C = heat capacity (J/g •oC), and ΔT is the change in temperature. If all other variables are the same, then the greatest change in temperature will cause the greatest amount of energy gained or lost. The water that went from 10oC to -15oC had the greatest change in temperature and the greatest change in energy.
Why light travell in straight line?
In the absence of external forces, there's nothing to cause it to bend.

Why does glaciers and polar ice caps have greatest amount of fresh water?
Cause Of Snow Marins And Glaciers
Where on earth is the greatest amount of fresh water?
I think it is Finland cause it is called The land of thousand lakes.
What two processes can cause waves to bend?
diffraction and refraction are two processes that can bend waves
Which would you expect to cause the greatest amount of contact metamorphism an intrusion of basaltic magma or an intrusion of rhyolitic magma?
Basaltic magma
What was the greatest cause of the death in the civil war?
Disease is the greatest cause of death.
Which earthquake fault cause the most damage strike slip reverse or normal?
Reverse / thrust faults at convergent boundaries typically cause the largest Earthquakes and so have the potential to cause the greatest amount of damage.
What is the Latin for greatest cause?
Greatest cause translates into Latini as...Largitas maxime claros
What are the greatest cause of death of all time?
The greatest cause of deaths of all time is heart disease.
Can the opening of granthi brahma cause backpain?
The opening of Brahma Granthi cannot cause back pain because it is located at the base of the spine.
