The direction of the electric field oscillations in light waves is referred to as a) Constructive interference b) Destructive interference c) Diffraction d) Polarization

Answer 1

The answer is d)

Answers a) and b) refer to interaction between two waves. The interaction is constructive or destructive depending one whether the resulting wave has higher or lower energy.

Diffraction the behavior of a wave when it hits a partial obstruction, and how it emerges from an opening in the obstruction.
