Reflection: When the ray of light on the polished surface and the light gets bounced back and this phenomenon is known as reflection.
Refraction: The bending of a wave when it passes from one medium to another medium. This bending of light from one medium to another medium caused the difference in density between the two substances.
Diffraction: The bending of the light around the corners such that the light spread out and illuminates areas where a shadow is expected. It is known as diffraction.
Scattering: When the ray of light passes from one medium to another medium then the part of the light is absorbed when it passes through a different medium. It is known as scattering.
EXPLANATION:
When an electromagnetic wave of frequency strikes over the edge of an object its wavelength gets changed due to the electromagnetic wave being absorbed. Then this phenomenon is known as scattering.
Hence, option 4) is the correct answer.
