How can diffraction occur in water?
Diffraction can occur in water when water waves encounter an obstacle or pass through a narrow opening, causing the waves to bend and spread out. This bending and spreading of the waves is known as diffraction, and it is a common phenomenon in water due to the wave nature of water molecules.
Is it normal that i see diffraction in light in everyday life?
Yes, diffraction of light is a common phenomenon that can be observed in everyday life. For example, when you see rainbows, experience water waves diffracting around obstacles, or even notice patterns of light and dark lines when light passes through a narrow slit, you are witnessing diffraction in action.
How does diffraction contribute to the formation of a rainbow?
Diffraction is the bending of light waves as they pass through a medium, such as water droplets in the atmosphere. When sunlight hits these water droplets, diffraction causes the light to separate into its different colors, creating the beautiful arc of a rainbow.
Why can you see a rainbow on a CD?
You can see a rainbow on a CD because the surface of the CD acts as a diffraction grating, separating white light into its different colors. When light hits the surface, it gets diffracted and the different colors become visible due to interference patterns.
What is the bending of waves around the edge of a barrier called?
Diffraction. It occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or aperture and bend around it, spreading out into the region behind the barrier.

As the wavelength decreases what happens to wave diffraction?
As wavelength decreases the wave diffraction will decrease, so the curve formed will be less noticeable. The sharpness of the diffraction will decrease that you can see will lessen.

How do you break white light without a prism?
You can break white light without a prism by using a device called a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating has thinly etched lines; you can see this effect by noticing the rainbows you see from the bottom of a DVD.
What are the examples of Reflections of Water waves and what is it all about?
The examples of reflection of water waves include reflection, refraction and diffraction.
Why cant you see red colour in diffraction grating experiment?
as red light refracts at bigger angle we cant see it
What are non examples of diffraction?
think of a wall in the water with a gap in the middle. waves come straight at the wall but as the waves go through the gap they bend. this is called diffraction.
What splits light into a spectrum for analysis?
A prism, a diffraction grating, a water droplet, etc.
Do a pencil partically immersed in water appear bent because of diffraction of light?
Yes.
When you are in a classroom why can you hear voices from the hallway even when you cannot see who is talking?
It's called diffraction.
