Different waves hit barriers with different sized gaps.
The waves will diffract.
In which diagram does the greatest spreading occur?
- Multiple ChoicePlease save your changes before editing any questions.When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.The wavelength increases.The wavelength decreases.More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.

A large hill blocks the direct path between a transmitter of radio waves and a receiver, as shown.
The receiver picks up the signal from the transmitter even though the radio waves do not travel through the hill. Which is correct.
A possible way for this to happen is diffraction round the hill and a stronger signal is received using longer wavelengths.
A possible way for this to happen is diffraction round the hill and a stronger signal is received using shorter wavelengths.
A possible way for this to happen is refraction round the hill and a stronger signal is received using longer wavelengths.
A possible way for this to happen is refraction round the hill and a stronger signal is received using shorter wavelengths.

Figure 9 shows a cross-section through the water wave as it moves into a shallow region and then out of the shallow region.
State what, if anything, in Fig 9 shows happening to
i) the amplitude of the wave as it moves into the shallow region................................
ii) the wavelength of the wave as it moves into the shallow region.................
