As the water waves go through the gap they spread out, this is called diffraction. The longer the wavelength of the wave the larger the amount of diffraction. The greatest diffraction happens when the gap size is about the same size as the wavelength.
Can waves be diffracted?
Diffraction can occur with any kind of wave. Ocean waves diffract around jetties and other obstacles.
What factors determine how greatly a wave is diffracted?
For a given type of waves, such as sound waves, how much the waves diffract depends on two factors: the size of the obstacle or opening in the obstacle and the wavelength of the waves. Diffraction is minor if the length of the obstacle or opening is greater than the wavelength.
