Q

Diffraction

A

When waves(||) meet a gap in a barrier they pass through they then spread out after passing the gaps. ())))

A

When sound and light waves passes a boundary between 2 surfaces, a shift in matter like air and glass causing speed to change due to different densities

Q

Reflection

A

Waves bounce off an object. Sound waves are absorbed by soft surfaces whereas on hard surfaces they are reflected off giving us echoes which travel twice for our ears to hear.
Smooth surfaces reflect light such as a mirror
