Question
Are all transverse waves polarized?
Open in App
Solution
No, all transverse waves are not polarized.
In these waves, particles of a medium move up and down at an angle of
90
0
to the direction of the wave.
These waves need to be polarized using a device named Polarizer.
This process is known as Polarization.
In a polarized wave, the vibration occurs in a single plane.
