Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle or through an opening, which occurs due to interference between different parts of the wavefront. This interference results in the spreading out of the wave, rather than it continuing in a straight line, which is not caused by refraction, reflection, polarization, or dispersion.
