Bozeman Science: Physics: Diffraction Effects

Curated by ACT

Paul Andersen explains how diffraction can be affected by the size of the wavelength. When waves pass through an opening or move around an obstacle, a shadow region is created. The size of the shadow zone will decrease as the wavelength matches the size of the obstacle or opening. [3:55]
