Difracción

The video explains diffraction, a phenomenon observed in all types of waves, including light, radio, and water waves, as well as subatomic particles. Diffraction becomes most noticeable when waves pass through an aperture that is similar in size to their wavelength.

Which of the following types of waves can exhibit diffraction?

• Only radio waves

• All types of waves

• Only water waves

• Only light waves

Diffraction can be observed in which of the following?

• Only in sound waves

• In both waves and subatomic particles

• Only in subatomic particles

• Only in large objects

When is diffraction most evident?

• When there is no aperture

• When the aperture is much smaller than the wavelength

• When the aperture is similar in size to the wavelength

• When the aperture is much larger than the wavelength

What happens to waves when they pass through a small aperture?

• They spread out due to diffraction

• They become more focused

• They speed up

• They stop completely

Why is diffraction important in understanding wave behavior?

• It explains why waves can travel faster

• It only applies to sound waves

• It shows how waves can bend around obstacles

• It prevents waves from spreading
