A typical sound wave has a wavelength of 1 meter. The wavelength of green light is about 500 billionths of a meter. Which type of wave will tend to diffract more through a narrow gap that is about 1 centimeter wide? Explain.

Answer: Sound wave diffracts more.

Explanation: Width of gap d  is smaller than wavelength λ of the gap.

You can estimate it from  equation  d sin α = n λ

The constant n is order of diffraction, n = 0,1,2,..

sin α = n λ / d   is greater when  λ/d is greater.

Sound wave will tend diffract more through a narrow gap that is about 1 centimeter wide.

What is Diffraction?

Diffraction is the spreading of waves around obstacles. Diffraction takes place with sound; with electromagnetic radiation, such as light, X-rays, and gamma rays; and with very small moving particles such as atoms, neutrons, and electrons, which show wave like properties.

d sin α = n λ

Width of gap d  is smaller than wavelength λ of the gap.

The constant n is order of diffraction, n = 0,1,2,..

sin α = n λ / d

Diffraction is greater when  λ/d is greater.
