Diffraction of light is the bending or spreading of light waves as they pass through an aperture or around an obstacle. This phenomenon is due to the wave nature of light, where the light waves interfere with each other. Diffraction is observed as patterns of light and dark fringes, such as in the double-slit experiment.
Three causes of a wave are wind blowing over the surface of water, earthquakes underwater, and gravitational pull from the moon and sun.
It depends on the type of wave. If it is a transverse wave, then the medium moves in one direction while the wave moves in a perpendicular direction. Flicking a rope up and down causes a transverse wave. Eletromagnetic waves (e.g. light and radio) are transvere. If it is a longitudinal wave then the wave moves in the same direction as the medium. Pushing a slinky causes a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal.
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
The wave produced in a rope is called a transverse wave. This type of wave causes the particles in the rope to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
Seismic wave
Longitudinal wave
The surface wave.
Wave refraction causes deposition in the bays Wave refraction causes erosion of the headlands
This is known as a tsunami.

That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
