Chace Maxwell · Answer 1

I believe this is the principle of polarization.

It is the property of electromagnetic waves such as light waves, in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specific way. Electromagnetic waves are the types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission and travels with the speed of light.
