Diffraction phenomenon is broadly classified into two categories: (a) Fresnel diffraction (near-field diffraction) The interference is considered to take place from different parts of an aperture when either the source or screen or both are at finite distance from the obstacle.
(b) Fraunhoffer diffraction (far-field diffraction) The interference is considered to take place from different parts of an aperture when either the source or screen or both are at finite distance from the obstacle.

What are different types of sound wave interaction?
diffraction, reflection, refraction
What is diffreance between transmission grating and diffraction grating?
Diffraction gratings can be categorized into 2 types - reflection gratings and transmission gratings. So, transmission gratings are a subset of diffraction gratings. Kristian Buchwald, Ibsen Photonics
What two things that can affect the amount of diffraction of a wave?
Diffraction of a wave depends on wave and speed
What is the bending of waves around the edge of a barrier called?
Diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle under specific circumstances.
What is the difference between diffraction and interference?
Diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle, while interference is the meeting of two waves. For instance, diffraction is what results from a pinhole blocking a wave source, the wave spreads out from that one point. This effect is what creates shadows, regions where the light source is blocked but it is not completely dark. Interference, however, results from two waves colliding with one another undergoing constructive and destructive interference, as in two chords being played. I think the confusion concerning these two different phenomena is the fact that two pinholes, two diffraction sources, results in interference of two sources, which is what the diffraction grating is, which creates the characteristic bands of light and dark interference patterns.

How are refraction and diffraction alike?
They aren't. They are two completely different phenomenon.
When is diffraction most significant?
Diffraction is most significant when light is passing through very small gaps like two blocks very close together.
Which term describes the bending of a wave around an object?
"Diffraction" does.
