When two waves meet or interfere, they

• bounce off each other
• stop each other completely
• pass through each other
• immediately reverse directions

Diffraction is

• boucing a wave off a surface
• change in direction as a wave enters a new medium
• interaction of waves as they meet each other
• bending and scattering of waves around small objects or around a corner

Reflection is

• bouncing a wave off a surface
• change is direction when a wave enters a new medium
• interaction of waves as they meet each other
• bending and scattering of waves around small objects or around a corner
