Does longitudinal wave exhibit diffraction?
Yes longitudinal waves can be diffracted. Example: Light waves.
What happens to light waves when they pass through a window?
The light changes its direction. In case you want to do more reading on the subject, this is called "refraction".The light changes its direction.

What is similar between the sound wave and the light wave?
Both are ways to transport energy from point a, to point b. Both sound and light waves have a speed, wavelength and frequency. Both can be diffracted, reflected and refracted, as those are properties of waves.
What happens when light waves get reflected?
The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction
What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.

Yes longitudinal waves can be diffracted. Example: Light waves.
Can light waves always travel in staight lines?
You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.

What happens when there is reflection in light waves?
That means that the light waves rebound, and change direction.
The type of radio waves that are diffracted the most around small buildings are?
AM Waves diffract more than FM waves.
Why call light as E M wave which is not having neither electric nor magnet?
Electromagnetic waves, like light, do involve changes in the electric and the magnetic field. These changes propagate at the speed of light - as a wave.Electromagnetic waves, like light, do involve changes in the electric and the magnetic field.

Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?
That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.

Photons are vibrating so some photon which are moving with a velocity of light and also vibreting in direction of moving light so photon tavell faster than light?
Light waves are made up of electrical waves and magnetic waves that are perpendicular to each other and support each other, they are also perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling so there are no vibrations in the direction the light travels.
What happens when light passes through the prism in wrong angle?
There is no 'wrong angle' - it either passes through the prism or it doesn't. The blue or violet waves will be the most diffracted.
