When a wave diffracts, what two properties determines the amount of bending as the wave passes the barrier/opening?

• wavelength and frequency

• amplitude and size of opening

• size of opening and energy

• wavelength and size of opening/barrier

Why can you hear around a corner, but not SEE around a corner?

• Light waves can diffract easily, while sound waves can not diffract since they only travel in straight lines

• Sound waves can diffract easily, while light waves can not diffract since they only travel in straight lines

• Light waves can refract easily, while sound waves can not refract since they only travel in straight lines

• Sound waves can refract easily, while light waves can not refract since they only travel in straight lines
