<span>The light slightly "bends" as it goes around the edges of the object. This bending is typically dependent upon the size of the barrier in comparison to the wavelength of the object being diffracted. The more similar in size the two are, the much more noticeable the diffraction tends to be.</span>

Diffraction is the slight bending of light when it passes around the edge of an object. The amount of bending depends on the relative of the  wavelength of the light wave to the size of the opening. If the opening is much larger than the wavelength the bending will be almost unnoticeable but if the two are equal or closer in length then the diffraction will be noted. Therefore, the correct answer is bends.

What is the magnitude of the speed of a person at the equator due to rotational speed of the Earth?
notka56 [123]
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is listed as 24,901 miles.
So his speed is

                     24,901 miles per day.

Convert it to units that we have a better feel for:

                   (24,901 mi/da) x (1 da / 24 hrs)

             =    (24,901 / 24)  (miles/hour)

             =  about  1,038 miles per hour.

You'll find a huge number of people on the internet these days,
telling you that you could not be moving at that speed and not
feel it, so therefore the Earth is not spinning, and it's not a globe.

I have a lot of feelings and comments about those people, their
lines of reasoning, and their levels of education and intelligence,
so don't get me started.

I just want to guarantee you that everything you're learning about
the Earth and the solar system in school is well founded, and it's
all based on the life's work of some of the smartest people of the
past 300 years of human history.  Everything you're taught about
the Earth has good reasons behind it, whereas those other people
have nothing.

A person on Earth's equator is moving from west to east at roughly
1,038 miles per hour, relative to any point on the Earth's rotation axis.
