The correct answer is Polarisation.

• Polarization is a property applying to transverse waves that specify the geometrical orientation of the oscillations.
• In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.
• Some Common Examples of Polarisation are surfaces that reflect polarized light are undisturbed glass, sheet plastics, water, and highways.
• In these instances, light waves that have the electric field vectors parallel to the surface are reflected a greater degree than those with different orientations.
