Diffraction

Diffraction

1. The wave behaves different depending to the size of the obstacle

   • When the obstacle is bigger also varies te size of the opening
     • If the opening is big the diffraction would be less
     • If the opening is big the diffraction would be more
   • when the obstacle is equal or smaller than the walength
     • if is equal the shadow is soon filled in
     • If is smaller a sharp shadow is cast

2. Is a phenoma produced when any wave encounter an obstacle making the wave continue its way but with a different form

   • straight wave
   • circular wave

3. Can be produced in:

   • Light waves
   • sound waves
