[DOC] [TLE] Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction of Waves - The Physics ... [PAR] Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. The amount of diffraction increases with increasing wavelength.
