Longer wavelengths have lower frequency which equates to lower energy.

So, higher frequency, shorter wavelength light or radio waves will be less affected by a medium through which they travel, assuming not in outer space. In outer space light waves lose energy when traveling long distances by several different theories. When (or if) this is shown to be true, it will falsify the Big Bang theory.

The amount of diffraction and thus the resolution of the scope depends upon?

the amount of diffraction depends on the opening of the slit and the wavelength of the light being used... resolution of diffraction on the screen also depends on the slit opening and the wavelength, but it more specifically depends on the angle at which the lit is shone, more on resolution, check out criterion for resolution........physics textbook do alot of clear explanation on that, check out physics for scientists and engineers, serway

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 :)


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.


What do you call the bending of a wave around the edge of a barrier?

Diffraction, more diffraction if wavelength is increased (or frequency decreased)
