The phenomenon of polarization shows that light has ......... nature.

A dual
B particle
C transverse
D longitudinal

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) transverse

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The phenomenon of polarisation is shown by transverse waves.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

An ideal choke draws a current of \(8 \mathrm{~A}\) when connected to an AC supply of \(100 \mathrm{~V}, 50 \mathrm{~Hz}\). A pure resistor draws a current of \(10 \mathrm{~A}\) when connected to the same source. The ideal choke and the resistor are connected in series and then connected to the AC source of \(150 \mathrm{~V}, 40 \mathrm{~Hz}\). The current in the circuit becomes
