The Diffraction of wave is the process of waves going through small objects or obstacles. Diffraction waves spreads out the wave past through some small holes or openings thus basically bending around any object then disperse out.

What is diffraction and how does it relate to the behavior of light as a wave?

Diffraction means bending. Okay. Bending of what? Bending of waves. Waves may be sound wave, or waves on the surface of water and even light wave. Bending at? Bending at the sharp edges of the obstacle on the way of movement of the wave. If suppose light is not a wave then diffraction phenomenon may not be possible. The very diffraction phenomenon establishes once again that light is a wave.

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 :)

What is diffraction of a signal and what causes it?

Diffraction is the bending of signal at the sharp edges of the obstacles. Because of the wave nature of the signal the phenomenon of diffraction becomes possible
