Acoustic Diffraction

Acoustic Diffraction is the phenomenon in which acoustic waves bend around obstacles and spread into shadow regions when encountering discontinuities or apertures in their propagation medium, distinguished from other wave behaviors by its dependence on the wavelength relative to the size of the obstacle or aperture.
