The phenomenon of several light waves interfering with one another under particular conditions, causing the combined amplitudes of the waves to either rise or decrease, is known as light interference. Which of the following is NOT a condition for interference to occur?
The light waves should have the same frequency.
The source of light must be monochromatic (one color).
The direction of the waves should be opposite each other.
The amplitudes of the waves should be the same.

Why is it possible to polarize a transverse wave?-Transverse waves have extra energy, so when it is polarized some of it is left over.-The wave oscillates parallel to the direction of propagation. -The wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of propagation.-Transverse waves cannot be polarized.
When you linearly polarize a transverse wave, the wave is forced to do which of the following?-oscillate parallel to the direction of propagation-create a spinning wave -oscillate in only one direction-oscillate both up/down and left/right
