Understanding Wave Diffraction

What remains unchanged when a wave is diffracted?

• Frequency and amplitude

• Amplitude and speed

• Wavelength, frequency, and speed

• Wavelength and amplitude

How does diffraction affect the amplitude of a wave?

• It doubles the amplitude

• It has no effect on the amplitude

• It decreases the amplitude

• It increases the amplitude

Why does the amplitude of a wave decrease after diffraction?

• Because the wave's speed increases

• Because the energy is spread over a wider area

• Because the energy is concentrated in a smaller area

• Because the frequency decreases

What is the relationship between amplitude and energy in a wave?

• Amplitude is inversely related to energy

• Amplitude is directly related to energy

• Higher amplitude means lower energy

• Amplitude is unrelated to energy

What analogy is used to explain energy distribution in a diffracted wave?

• Distributing money among people

• Sharing a pie among friends

• Pouring water into a glass

• Dividing a cake into slices
