What are two words that describe the bending of a wave ray?
Reflection and Refraction
Contrast refraction with diffraction?
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different mediums due to a change in speed, while diffraction is the bending of light waves around obstacles and edges. Refraction is caused by a change in the optical density of the medium, while diffraction is a result of the interference of light waves.
How are diffraction and refraction similar and how are they different?
Diffraction and refraction are similar in that they both involve the bending of waves. However, diffraction occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or a slit, causing them to spread out, while refraction occurs when waves pass through a medium with varying densities, causing them to change speed and direction.
What are the seven properties of light?
refection refraction diffraction polarization interference dispersion photoelectric effect
How do you make a venndiagram of reflection refraction and difraction?
To create a Venn diagram to show the relationship between reflection, refraction, and diffraction, you can start by drawing three overlapping circles. Place reflection in one circle, refraction in another, and diffraction in the third. Where the circles overlap, you can show the instances where these phenomena can occur simultaneously, such as in the case of a prism splitting light into a spectrum (involving refraction and diffraction).
A wave changes directions when its speed changes This is called?
Reflection, or refraction, depending on what causes the change in direction.

How is refraction from diffraction?
They both involve in like bending. There different because Refraction is the bending of a was as it enters a new medium and Diffraction is the bending of a was as it moves around an obstacle or passes through.

How diffraction refraction different?
Diffraction is the bending of waves when they encounter an obstacle or aperture, causing them to spread out. Refraction is the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another with different densities, changing their speed and direction. Diffraction affects waves passing through barriers, while refraction affects waves passing through media boundaries.
What are three ways waves change direction?
Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction
What are the four type of waves?
refraction, diffraction, reflection there are only 3

What is the bending of waves as it passes at an angle from one medium to another?
The bending of waves as they pass at an angle from one medium to another is called refraction. This phenomenon occurs due to the change in speed of the wave as it travels through media with different densities, causing it to change direction. Refraction is governed by Snell's Law, which relates the angle of incidence to the angle of refraction.
