The bending or spreading out of a wave at an obstacle or at the edges of an opening is called diffraction. (Sin 0=1/d) The amount of diffraction, (for all wave types) depends on the wave's wavelength A and the relative size of the opening d. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s and the speed of light is 3x10^8 m/s. What would be the ratio of the size of an opening to give the same amount of diffraction for sound and light? Take the frequency of sound at 500 Hz and light at 5x10^14 Hz ratio (Alight /Asound = dlight /dsound) Over a million times smaller a. O b. Over a thousand times smaller Over a hundred times smaller С. d. Over ten times smaller
