Question

What do diffraction and refraction have in common? pick only one

Answer 1

B. they both involve wave interaction.

Answer 2

Answer;

They both involve wave interactions

Explanation;

• Refraction is a property of a wave that refers to the bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.
• Diffraction on the other hand is a property of a wave such that an object causes a wave to change direction and bend towards it.
• Diffraction and refraction differ in that, refraction occurs when waves pass through an object while diffraction occurs when waves pass around an object.
• The similarity between refraction and diffraction is that they both involve interactions of waves and causes waves to bend thus changing their direction.
