COMEDK · Physics · 16. Waves and Sound
Which of the following statement is false?
- A Sound and light waves exhibit interference.
- B Sound and light waves exhibit diffraction.
- C Light wave exhibits polarisation, while sound wave does not.
- D Sound wave exhibits polarisation, while light wave does not.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Sound wave exhibits polarisation, while light wave does not.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Polarisation is the property of wave to oscillates in more than one orientation. The sound waves always oscillates in the direction of wave propagation, so polarisation is not possible in them. While light can be polarised.
