Scattered light in the atmosphere is often partially polarized. The best way to determine whether or not light from a particular direction in the sky shows polarization is to
a. diffract the light through a single slit. b. squint while looking in that direction. c. rotate a piece of polaroid film about an axis parallel to the ray while looking through it in that sky direction. d. rotate a piece of polaroid film about an axis perpendicular to the ray while looking through it in that sky direction. e. reflect the rays from that direction on a shiny metal surface.
