Correct Answer - Option 3 : Interference

Explanation:

Property Definition
Diffraction
  • It is the phenomenon of bending of light from the sharp corners of a slit or obstacle and spreading into the region of the geometrical shadow
Polarization
  • The phenomenon of restricting light waves into a single plane is called Polarization.
  • It can be seen only in transverse waves.
Reflection
  • It is the phenomenon of light bouncing back into the same medium after striking a smooth surface.
Interference
  • When two light sources from different coherent sources meet together, then there is a distribution of energy is disturbed by each other this superposition of two light waves is called Interference of light waves.

 

So, due to Interference of light, a soap bubble shows colours when illuminated with white light.
