Resource summary

Refraction and Diffraction
  1. Diffraction- waves spreading out
    1. All waves spread out at the edges when they pass through a gap or pass an obstacle
      1. The narrower the gap the more the waves spread out.
        1. The wider the gap the less the waves spread out.
      2. Radio waves and hills:
        1. The waves are so large that when they come into contact with hills, they may not defract fully which is why signal levels can be so poor
