They can reflect, bouncing off surfaces; refract, bending when passing through different materials; and diffract, spreading out around obstacles. Interference occurs when waves combine, producing patterns of constructive or destructive reinforcement. Polarization involves aligning the direction of waves’ oscillations, while…
