- Refraction occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction.
- Diffraction refers to the "bending of waves around an edge" of an object. Diffraction depends on the size of the object relative to the wavelength of the wave.

What else can I help you with?
Which part of a wave is the rarefaction?
Perhaps you are confusing with "refraction"? Refraction means that when a wave goes from one substance to another (for example, from air to water), it changes its direction. This is related with the index of refraction in the different substances, i.e., the wave has a different speed in the different substances.
What does the amount of refraction depend on the two materials?
The amount of refraction that occurs at the interface between two materials depends on the difference in their refractive indices. A greater difference in refractive indices between two materials will result in a larger amount of refraction.
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
A crest is the highest point of a wave, while a rarefaction is the lowest point of a wave. In other words, the crest is the peak of the wave, and the rarefaction is the trough or dip. Together, the crest and rarefaction make up the waveform of a wave.
What of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?
The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between a compression (high pressure) or rarefaction (low pressure) and the next compression or rarefaction. It is the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is typically measured in meters.
What is a section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are less crowded than normal called?
A section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are less crowded than normal is called a rarefaction. In this region, the particles experience lower pressure and density compared to the surrounding areas.
What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure
Molecules are farther apart in a rarefaction reflection compression or refraction?
Rarefaction.

What is the difference between light and light refraction?
In reflection the light bounces bach; in refraction the light passes through, but is bent at the interface.
What is the difference between refraction and transmission?
the difference is transmission occur in same medium,but refraction occurs whn 2 medias are there,its actually bending of light at interface of 2 medias
What is the difference between reflected and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What the difference is between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What is the difference between refraction and reflection.?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What is the distances between compression and rarefaction?
wavelength
What is light that is bent when it passes through an object called?
reFRACtion There isn't a good nmeonic or the like to remember the difference between refraction, reflection and diffraction. You just have to learn it.
