Terushima or Hinata this is for an experiment

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Which of the following are properties of mechanical waves? check all that apply ⭕️ particles of the medium move back and fourth, but do not move with the wave. ⭕️ the particles of the medium always move parallel to the wave motion. ⭕️ wave motion begins with a disturbance in the medium. ⭕️ waves transport energy from a source outward, away from the source.
