a wave with the longest wavelength..
Firstly, diffraction refers to what happens to a range of wavelengths. It means the different wavelengths are spread out, producing a spectrum under the right circumstances. Secondly, the 'obstacle' has to be transparent, so the waves pass from one medium to another. More properly, light hits the boundary between two transparent media (e.g. air and glass), and it is refracted(bent) as it enters the glass block. Shorter wavelengths are refracted more, so the beam is spread out, or diffracted. The easy way to remember this is 'blue bends best'.

When a wave bends around an obstacle, it is called diffraction.
When a wave bends around an obstacle, it is called diffraction.
It is called as a reflection of a wave.

The wave diffracts and behaves like the opening is a point source.
