Why can we still hear a person talking even if he is behind a wall? Explain using the concept of diffraction.

دیوار کے پیچھے بولنے والے شخص کی آواز بھی کیوں سنائی دیتی ہے؟ انعراج کے تصور سے وضاحت کریں۔

Solution & explanation

Sound spreads around edges and through openings, especially when wavelengths are comparable to their size. Reflection and transmission may also contribute; the wave does not need to pass unchanged through a solid wall.
