Question

the image shows water passing through a barrier. what type of wave activity is shown in the image? absorption diffraction reflection refraction

Explanation:

Wave diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. In the image, water waves pass through an opening in a barrier and spread out, which is characteristic of diffraction. Absorption would involve the wave energy being taken in by the barrier. Reflection would show the waves bouncing back. Refraction is the bending of waves due to a change in medium (not just passing through an opening). So the wave activity is diffraction.

Answer:

diffraction
