If a classroom door is open just a small amount, we can hear sounds coming from the room but we can't see what is going on inside the room because

  • A
    Diffraction of sound is easier as its wavelength is large
  • B
    Diffraction of light is easier as its wavelength is small
  • C
    Sound waves can be polarized
  • D
    Light waves can be polarized
