Question

Interference of light is an evidence that:

• A. The speed of light is very large
• B. Light is a transverse wave
• C. Light is an electromagnetic wave
• D. Light has wave phenomenon

Answer 1

The correct option is D Light has wave phenomenon

Interference is the combination of two waves of the same or different frequencies to give a wave whose distribution at each point in space is the algebraic or the vector sum of the interfering waves at that point. Since interference happens due to the combination of two waves, it is an evidence that supports the wave nature of light.
