Question

What is the relationship between reflection and diffraction? A. Reflection happens when a wave hits a hard surface, while diffraction only happens when a wave goes through air or water. B. Reflection happens when a wave hits a hard surface, while diffraction happens when two waves interact with each other. C. Reflection happens when a wave bounces back against an obstacle, while diffraction happens when a wave goes through an obstacle. D. Reflection happens when a wave bounces back against an obstacle, while diffraction happens when a wave bends around an obstacle.

Answer 1

answer: D. Reflection happens when a wave bounces back against an obstacle, while diffraction happens when a wave bends around an obstacle.

Answer 2

i believe it is D, because reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier, and diffraction involves a change in direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path.
