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.
How does the wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of the sound wave through an open window?
The wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of a sound wave through an open window because the wavelength can determine how fast the diffraction is moving; therfore, causing the sound to be either lower or higher.I think :)
The bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening is called?
Diffraction. Bending of light/sound as it moves from one medium to another - Refraction.
What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
Sound waves are more easily bent than light waves?
true
Why the diffraction of light is not same as that of sound waves?
Oh but it is. When they encounter sharp edges, light and sound behave exactly the same ... in terms of their wavelengths.

How does diffraction affect sound waves?
Important parts of our experience with sound involve diffraction. The fact that you can hear sounds around corners and around barriers involves both diffraction and reflection of sound.

When a moves through an opening in a barrier it?
Bends and spreads out.When waves of any kind, sound, light electromagnetic radiation hit a gap in a barrier that is on the same scale as the wavelength then diffraction will occur. Diffraction is the bending of the wave and this appears as circular waves when we observe this effect with water.A common diffraction grating can be seen on a CD or DVD. The light spreads and we see this as different colours.
