The bright fringes become wider as the slit width increases

The dark fringes become narrower as the wavelength of light increases.

The spacing between the fringes becomes narrower as the slit width decreases.

The intensity of the fringes remains constant regardless of the slit width.

The bright fringes become wider.

The dark fringes become wider.

The bright fringes become narrower.

The dark fringes become narrower.

The bending of light waves as they pass through a medium.

The separation of white light into its component colours.

The alignment of light waves along a specific orientation.

The reflection of light waves off a smooth surface.

Longitudinal waves

Transverse waves

Electromagnetic waves

Mechanical waves.

Unpolarised light

Linear polarisation

Circular polarisation

Transverse polarisation.

Convex lens

Concave lens

Prism.

Polarising filter.

It absorbs all light waves except those vibrating in a specific direction

It refracts light waves to separate them based on their wavelength

It reflects light waves off a metallic surface

It scatters light waves in multiple directions.

All light waves are naturally polarised

Polarisation can only occur in a vacuum

The direction of polarisation is always vertical

The angle of polarisation depends on the medium through which the light passes.
