The penetration of light into the region of geometrical shadow is called
Polarization
Diffraction
Interference
Refraction
As we learned
Diffraction -
The phenomenon of bending of light around the corners of an obstacle of the size of the wavelength of light is called diffraction.
So The penetration of light into the region of geometrical shadow is called Diffraction.
So The correct option is 2.
