Yes, microwaves can be diffracted by the edge of a transmission dish. When microwaves encounter a sharp edge, they can diffract around it, leading to interference patterns and altered intensity of the waves. This phenomenon is commonly observed in radio and microwave transmissions.

What happens when a wave reaches the edge of an object?

When a wave reaches the edge of an object, it can either undergo reflection, transmission, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the object, transmission happens when the wave passes through the object, and diffraction occurs when the wave bends around the object. These interactions depend on the properties of the wave and the object it encounters.


How do I undo a vacuum between a glass bowl and a glass dish without breaking either-the dish is stuck in the bowl on top of food?

You can try to break the seal between the glass bowl and dish by gently tapping the edge of the bowl with a wooden spoon or rubber mallet. Alternatively, you can try running hot water over the outside of the glass bowl to help expand it slightly and release the vacuum seal. Be careful not to use excessive force to prevent breakage.


Is diffraction the tightening of waves?

No.Diffraction is the change in the direction and intensity of a group of waves after passing an obstacle or passing through an aperture whose size is comparable to the wavelength of the waves.It can be observed in mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves as well as in matter waves.When a beam of light falls on the edge of an object, it bends slightly due to the contact and causes a blur at the edge of the shadow of the object. Waves of longer wavelengths are diffracted more than those of shorter wavelengths.


How long is a infrared wave?

Infrared is a type of electromagnetic radiation. Its wavelength extends from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nm to 1 mm.


What is the edge of a pane of glass called?

The sharp edge of a pane of glass is called a "cut edge." This edge is typically created during the cutting process and can be smoothed or polished for safety reasons.
