Answer 2

Diffraction: Special type of Polarization

Explanation:

• Diffraction of light is special type of polarization that is nothing but basically interference of various parts of wave which generate phase difference or path difference (due change in path) because to bending of the wave.
• The bending of light waves about the corners of an obstacle and spread of light waves into geometrical shadow is nothing but Diffraction.
• Two varieties of Diffraction of Light-

1. Fraunhofer Diffraction
2. Fresnel Diffraction

• The vibrating components of electrical and magnetic field in a light wave are restricted in polarization.
