Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
what is diffraction? waves spreading out when they pass through a gap or pass an obstacle
what is refraction change the direction of a wave
how would you get the waves to spread out more? the narrower the gap or the longer the wavelength
what happens if the gap is much wider than the wavelength? little diffraction
what happens if the gap is a bit wider than the wavelength? diffraction only at edges
what happens is the gap is the same as the wavelength? maximum diffraction
what happens if a light wave hits the boundary 'face on'? it carries on in the same direction
what happens if a wave meets a different medium at an angle? the wave changes direction, it's been difracted
