- Diffraction: This is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. Ground waves can bend as they propagate along the Earth's surface. This bending can lead to a loss of energy as the wave interacts with the surface. - Polarization: This refers to the orientation of the wave's ele...
- Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and the spreading of waves when they pass through small openings. The extent of diffraction depends on the wavelength of the wave relative to the size of the obstacle or aperture. 2. Comparing Wavelengths: - The key difference between sound...
