What is it called when a wave bends around an obstacle?
When a wave bends around an obstacle, it is called diffraction.
What is define the property of letting light pass through something?
refraction and diffraction refraction is when light passes through it bends but diffraction is that light finds an opening to pass through while other waves bounce off
Is when light bends as it passes through an object?
Yes...supermassive blackholes are a good example.
What wave bends around a barrier?
with diffraction
When a wave bends around a obstacle what is it called?
When a wave bends around an obstacle, it is called diffraction.
When light bends it enters a different medium what is the process called?
Diffraction
What is the diffraction of light?
Light does not always travel in st. lines. it bends arround an obstacle if its size smaller than the wavelength of the light wave.This is called diffraction

When a wave bends around an obstacle, it is called diffraction.
When a wave enters a new medium slows down and bends the wave undergoes what?
Diffraction, with light it splits the colors most notably in a prism.
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.
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.

What is the diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of light waves is caused by the density of the medium through which the light is passing. Diffraction results when light travels from rarer to denser medium.
