Which one of the following cannot be polarised?
- A \(\gamma\)-rays
- B Sound waves
- C Microwaves
- D Ultraviolet rays
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Sound waves
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Polarization is a property unique to transverse waves (where oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of travel). Since sound waves are longitudinal waves (oscillating parallel to the direction of travel), they cannot be polarized. B) Sound waves
