Solution
The correct option is B
Polarization
Explanation of correct option:
In the case of option B,
Polarization, in Physics, is defined as a phenomenon caused due to the transverse nature of electromagnetic radiation
Sunlight seems to be an illustration of an electromagnetic wave that passes across the vacuum to reach the Earth.
The explanation for the incorrect option:
In the case of option A, the return of light or sound waves from a surface is called reflection.
In the case of option C, light bends around the corner of an obstruction or via an opening in the stream of light, and this light enters into the logical shadow of the barrier is called diffraction.
In the case of option D, A superposition of two waves results in a wave of larger, lower, or equivalent amplitude.
