Wave Diffraction

Mr. Anderson explains wave diffraction, the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings. He illustrates this with water waves, sound, and light, emphasizing the importance of the obstacle or opening size relative to the wavelength. Real-world examples and demonstrations using a ripple tank and PhET simulation are provided to show how diffraction occurs in different scenarios.
