3.26 understand that sound waves are longitudinal waves and how they can be diffracted

Sound waves can be diffracted when they pass an edge.
Deeper sounds with a lower frequency will be diffracted more. e.g. 20Hz
Higher frequency sounds will be diffracted less. e.g. 20,000Hz
We can experience this when we stand around a corner and someone speaks. We can still hear the speech.
