Light is absorbed by a black body
Light pass between two mediums with the same index of refraction
Light passes through a vacuum
Light is reflected off of a glass window
Correct answer:
Light is reflected off of a glass window

Light is polarized when it is all oscillating in the same direction. This effect occurs when light is reflected. Polarization can occur through refraction, however if light is passing between mediums with the same index of refraction, the light will not refract.
