The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength of the wave compared with the size of the gap:
- When the gap is much bigger than the wavelength, diffraction is unnoticeable.
- You get noticeable diffraction through a gap several wavelengths wide.
- The most diffraction is when the gap is the same size as the wavelength
- If the gap is smaller than the wavelength, the waves are mostly reflected back.
