light is transverse in nature.......here is your answer
transverse nature of light waves, what I understand is that the direction of oscillation (of electromagnetic field) in light is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of light. Polarization essentially means that this oscillation can happen with more than one orientation. If the direction of oscillation had been same as the direction of propagation (or energy transfer) as in the case of sound waves in a liquid or gas, then it can oscillate only with this single orientation (making polarization impossible). Since there are many orientations perpendicular to the direction of propagation, a transverse wave can exhibit the property of polarization.

Ordinary Light: Light waves are transverse in nature. The direction of its vibration is in the plane which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. ... Following phenomena prove transverse nature of light.Jun 26, 2017
