Answer to Problem 36R

The correct option is C.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Diffraction is a phenomenon in which the waves bend around an obstacle.

The bending of a wave around an object in its path is known as diffraction.

Refraction is caused when a wave enters in another medium from a medium and interference is caused due to meeting of two waves.

Reflection is bouncing back of wave after striking a surface.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct option is C.
