a. diffraction b. absorption c. reflection d. refraction

2. The diagram below shows a series of wave fronts approaching an opening in a barrier.
Point P is located on the opposite side of the barrier.

The wavefronts reach point P as a result of


a) resonance b) refraction c) reflection d) diffraction

3. In a shallow tank, a water wave moves towards a barrier with a narrow gap.

Which diagram shows the wave beyond the barrier?


4. The diagram shows a water wave passing through a gap in a harbor wall. The wavefronts
curve around the wall and reach a small boat in the harbor.

wavefronts do not reach the boat?
name of effect change to the gap
A diffraction make the gap slightly bigger
B diffraction make the gap slightly smaller
C refraction make the gap slightly bigger
D refraction make the gap slightly smaller
