IGCSE PHYSICS (11) - GENERAL WAVE PROPERTIES

If waves cross into a new medium at an angle, their wavelength and direction change. shallow water (slow) Wavefronts change shape when they pass the edge of an obstacle or go through a gap. This process is known as diffraction. Diffraction is strong when the width of the gap is similar in size to the wavelength of the waves. Wavelength
