Question
what do diffraction and refraction have in common?
they both involve interference.
they both involve wave interactions.
they both involve reflection.
they both involve construction.
Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. Refraction is the bending of waves when they enter a medium where their speed is different. Both diffraction and refraction are wave - related phenomena. Interference is a separate wave phenomenon (involving the superposition of waves). Reflection is the bouncing back of waves. Construction is not a relevant term in this context for these two wave behaviors.
