Which phenomenon do not cause the polarization of light _:
Correct answer: B. Interference
- A. Reflection
- B. Interference
- C. Double refraction
- D. Scattering of light
Explanation
Interference does not result in the polarization of light because it involves the meeting of waves to form a new wave of different amplitude. Reflection, double refraction, and scattering of light are all capable of producing polarized light.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
