D)refraction.
E)polarization.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Refraction is the bending of a light ray when it passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index. This occurs because the speed of light changes as it moves from one medium to another, causing the light ray to change direction. Interference, diffraction, specular reflection, and polarization do not directly cause the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.
