Diffraction effects are more easily detected in the case of sound waves than light waves because
- A sound waves are longitudinal
- B sound waves have smaller wavelength
- C sound waves have larger wavelength
- D sound waves are transverse
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) sound waves have larger wavelength
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Since, sound waves have higher wavelength, which are comparable to the dimension of interfering objects. So, diffraction effect can easily be detected in sound waves than light waves.
