The phenomenon of polarization shows that light has ________ nature.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Transverse
Transverse nature of light waves, indicates the
direction of oscillation (of electromagnetic field) in light is
perpendicular to the direction of propagation of light. Polarization necessarily imply that the oscillation can happen with more than one
orientation. As there are multiple
orientations perpendicular to the direction of propagation, a transverse
wave can be polarized.
