Light waves undergo diffraction around an edge. can sound waves diffract around an edge? Explain.
1 Answer
Yes, sound waves can diffract around an edge like light waves. The sound waves diffract when the width of the edge is comparable to the wavelength of the sound waves. The wavelength of a sound wave is long and there are more possibilities to occur the diffraction.
