Transverse wave nature of light is shown by which phenomenon?
- A Reflection
- B Polarization
- C Interference
- D Diffraction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Polarization
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The transverse wave nature of light is demonstrated by Polarization. While phenomena like interference and diffraction occur in both longitudinal and transverse waves, only transverse waves (which oscillate perpendicular to the direction of travel) can be polarized.
