Question 2
When you look through a sheer curtain at a distant street lamp, you see a pattern of colored spots of light. This occurs by

c. refraction of light waves differentially in the cylindrical threads.
d. diffraction of light waves passing through the two dimensional pattern of openings between the threads.
e. reflection of light waves by the sides of the threads.
