Diffraction of wave

how does diffraction work

• it goes through water and air

• is a beam of light stopping at a wall

• it bounces off of light

• is the bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object

• is a beam of light that is spread out and passes through an object

• a beam of light

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

A wave of constant wavelength diffracts as it passes through an opening in a barrier. As the size of the opening is increased, the diffraction effects

• decrease

• increase

• remain the same

This image is representing what wave interaction?

• Refraction
• Diffraction
• Reflection
• Interference

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Definition: When one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion.

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Resonance

Definition: when a wave reaches the interface between two different media, typically some of the wave will bounce back into the original medium.

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Polarization

Definition: The spreading out of waves as they pass through an opening or around objects.

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Resonance

Light waves and sound waves are similar in that...

• They are both longitudinal waves

• They are both transverse waves

• They both transmit energy

• They both can travel through space.
