Which happens when a wave passes through an opening?

• interference

• refraction

• reflection

• diffraction

What is interference?

• the diminishing energy of a wave as it enters a material

• the formation of a new wave by two or more overlapping waves

• the change of direction of a wave caused by entering a new material

• the change of direction of a wave caused by passing around a small object the change of direction of a wave caused by passing around a small object
