Diffraction of Waves

Waves spread when passing through an opening or around an obstacle

Wavelength after diffraction

Wavelength doesn't change

Frequency after diffraction

Frequency doesn't change

Types of waves that can cause diffraction

Diffraction can happen on both types of waves, longitudinal & transverse waves

Speed after diffraction

Speed doesn't change

Amplitude after diffraction

Changed by decreasing its height from the original

Location where diffraction can be found naturally

The beach

The size of the opening so that diffraction can occurs

Approximately smaller than the wavelength

Diffracted waves

Has lower energy transferred

Diffraction only happens to a longitudinal wave

False
