The property of bending of light around obstacles and spreading of light wanes into a geometrical shadow of an obstacle is known as:
Correct answer: A. Diffraction
- A. Diffraction
- B. Interference
- C. Polarization
- D. Optical Rotation
Explanation
Diffraction is the process of light bending around an obstacle or spreading out after it moves through a small space. If you study physics, you'll learn about the diffraction of light waves. Any kind of wave can experience diffraction, including sound, radio, and water.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
