Can waves bend as they pass through a narrow opening?
Yes
Is diffraction the tightening of waves through an opening or edge of an obstacle?
Yes you are very right tip tips to you
When a light wave bends around a barrier or the edge of an opening the resulting waves can?
interfere with each other
What is the bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening called?
Diffraction
Diffraction occurs when waves what around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.

What is define the property of letting light pass through something?
refraction and diffraction refraction is when light passes through it bends but diffraction is that light finds an opening to pass through while other waves bounce off
What is s waves and p waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
Shear waves will not pass through the?
Shear waves will not pass through the molten outer core of the Earth.
How does a laser travel in a straight line?
Many think a laser travels in a straight line due to it being made of particles since particles travel in a straight line when not acted upon by a force. This is not why a laser is straight. A laser is actually a wave and waves are able to travel around corners. If you notice, ocean waves actually seem to bend around corners. Sound waves do the same thing so that you can hear someone in another room. Light waves can do the same thing. The reason they don't is because they are much smaller than the opening they pass through. Ocean and sound waves have a much longer wavelength than light does. If ocean waves passed into a harbor they would also travel in a straight line. When the wavelength is much smaller than the opening they pass through the interferance created by the corners of the opening, destroying all the waves that are not moving in the direction of the waves before they passed through the opening. Therefore, it is wave interference that causes it to be so straight.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves
Which light waves will be able to pass through?
horizontal waves only
