Light passes through a vacuum
A light source travels at a high velocity
Light is reflected off of a glass window
Light pass between two mediums with the same index of refraction
Correct answer:
Light is reflected off of a glass window
Explanation:
Light is polarized when it is all oscillating in the same direction. This effect occurs when light is reflected. Polarization can occur through refraction, however if light is passing between mediums with the same index of refraction, the light will not refract.
