Which 2 statements about waves diffracting after passing through an opening are true? * If the opening similar to the wavelength of the waves, little energy passes through and much diffraction will occur. If the opening is very wide compared to the wavelength of the waves, lots of energy passes through and little diffraction will occur. If the opening similar to the wavelength of the waves, little energy passes through and little diffraction will occur. If the opening is very wide compared to the wavelength of the waves, lots of energy passes through and much diffraction will occur.
