What is diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

which changes of state should she place in the column titled "lose energy"?freezing, boiling, and meltingmelting, vaporization,
Blababa [14]
Freezing (liquid to solid)
Deposition (gas to solid)
Condensation (gas to liquid)

All three of these state changes are a result of a energy loss. When considering energy loss it is best to think of situations where temperature has dropped. Less energy in the system results in less energy the substance is exposed to or has available.
