    bending of waves around obstacles or through narrow openings

    Diffraction is a phenomenon that occurs when waves, such as light or sound, encounter an obstacle or pass through a narrow opening, causing them to spread out and bend around the edges. This effect is crucial in various fields, including optics and acoustics, as it influences how waves propagate and interact with their environment, leading to patterns of constructive and destructive interference.
