Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffraction does not produce polarized light from unpolarized light. Diffraction refers to the bending and spreading of light waves that pass through small openings or around obstacles, but it does not select a preferred direction of polarization. The other options (absorption, reflection, birefringence, and scattering) can all produce polarized light in certain conditions.
