The window is too wide (relative to the wavelength of light)

What principle is responsible for light spreading as it passes through a narrow slit?
Diffraction
What is define the property of letting light pass through something?
refraction and diffraction refraction is when light passes through it bends but diffraction is that light finds an opening to pass through while other waves bounce off
Can light go through transparent things?
Yes. Imagine your window. Light passes through does it not.
Is when light bends as it passes through an object?
Yes...supermassive blackholes are a good example.
What is the diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of light waves is caused by the density of the medium through which the light is passing. Diffraction results when light travels from rarer to denser medium.
What do you call it when light the speed of light changes as it passes through different meduims?
Diffraction.

What does light easily pass through?
Light easily passes through molecules or atoms that are small. :)

Yes. Imagine your window. Light passes through does it not.

What do you mean by diffraction?
• DIFFRACTIONDIFFRACTION has 1meaning:When light passes sharp edges or goes through narrow slits the rays are deflected and produce fringes of light and dark bands
Why don't rainbows form when light passes through a window?
Because a window, although made of glass is NOT a prism...The glass MUST be a prism _____________________________________________________________________ A rainbow forms when light passes through rain droplets. Try getting your hose and an attachment and make a mist to see. ____________________________________________________________________
What happens when light hits a window?
Some of the light will pass through the window. Some of the light will be reflected by the window. A small amount of light will be absorbed by the window. This amount could be increased for certain wavelengths by UV or IR coating. The light that passes through the window will be refracted (or bent) slightly. However, it will not be significant for a thin window pane.
What is the bending of waves around a barrier?
Diffraction is the bending of a wave at an angle as it passes from one medium to another.
