diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier such as an obstacle or the edges of an opening. Every wave is the source of another wave. Yes, and each different wavelength of light is bent at a different angle, thus separating the visual (color) spectrum which allows you to see a rainbow effect.
What else can I help you with?
What is refraction and defraction?
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, such as light or sound, as it passes from one medium to another. This change occurs due to the wave's change in speed. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and the spreading out of waves as they pass through openings. Both phenomena are key principles in the study of wave behavior.
What separates light on a spectroscope?
The defraction grating on the scope acts the same is a prism, splitting the light into its color components by disrupting the timing of the parts so they reach our eyes at separate times and resulting in different colors.
What is wave defraction?
Wave diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles in their path, causing them to spread out and change direction as they pass through an opening. It occurs when waves encounter an obstruction or a slit that is comparable in size to their wavelength. This phenomenon is especially apparent with water waves and light waves.
The phenomenon that sound wave fails to exhibit is - a Interference b Defraction c Vibration d Polarization?
The phenomenon that sound wave fails to exhibit is polarization.
Is a traffic light a light reflector or light source?
A traffic light is a light source as it emits light to signal drivers when to stop, slow down, or go.
What is it separating white light called?
defraction
What is the bending of a wave around an object?
Defraction.

What color of the rainbow bends the most?
red. bending is a physical phenomenon called defraction , the less frequency ( or the longer the wave length) the more the defraction. since the red has the least frequency it bends more than any colour.
What is stellar spectroscope?
A stellar spectroscope is made up of glass or prism defraction grating.
Defraction states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle or reflection?

Describe light at a glass air interface the place where the two materials meet?
Well light is both a wave and a particle. In this case it's wave nature dominates it's particle nature. SO basically the wave nature of light helps it to follow Huygens' principle which leads to reflection refraction or defraction.
What were Sir Isaac Newton's main achievements?
Here are but a few of Sir Isaac Newton's achievements:Laws of motionColour theory ( refraction and defraction )Reflecting telescopeLaw of universal gravitationLaw of coolingCalculus
What is the iris diaphragm function on a compound light microscope?
the iris diaphragm controls the amount of light that passes through the stage and, consequently, through the specimen. Reducing the iris diaphragm aperture increases contrast for an image focused under high power by reducing the amount of light that both fills the objective lens and deracts around specimen edges. Opening the iris diaphragm under high magnification increases "flare", the appearance of light "washing out" an object. By decreasing the flow of light through the specimen, the iris diaphragm limits light defraction and saturation.
What uses are there for a homemade nitrogen laser?
A probable use is only experimentation, and the pleasure of finding things out. One can also play with some optics and look at defraction, etc. Be careful of the high voltages, remember safety first! Jose Amram
