Choose the phenomenon from the following, which shows that light is a transverse wave.
- A Diffraction
- B Interference
- C Reflection
- D Polarisation
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Polarisation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Only transverse waves, which oscillate perpendicular to their direction of travel, can be restricted to a single plane of vibration. Phenomena like diffraction, interference, and reflection occur in both transverse and longitudinal waves (like sound), so they do not uniquely…
