Question

Physics Question on Polarisation

Which one proves transverse nature of waves?

A

Polarization

B

Diffraction

C

Interference

D

All of these

Answer

Polarization

Explanation

Solution

Transverse waves can be polarised because these waves while travelling along a generally straight line path will vibrate in many directions perpendicular to that path. However, they can be made to vibrate in only one direction (polarisation). While diffraction and interference failed to show the transverse nature of light.
