Question

Which of the following phenomenon proves that light is a transverse wave?

(A) reflection (B) interference
(C) diffraction (D) polarization​

Answer 1

Answer:

polarization option d is the proves which proof that light is a transverse wave...

Explanation:

The phenomenon of polarization confirms that light is a transverse wave because for polarization, the light should have different components oscillating in the different planes and a transverse wave has the oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

... Thank you hope you understand.....

Answer 2

(D).Polarization is phenomenon proved that light in a transverse wave.

Explanation:

• Traverse waves other ways in which the direction of oscillation of the medium particle of the wave is perpendicular to its direction of propagation of the wave.
• Polarization is the property which show the light is transverse in nature. transverse waves are the waves in which the direction of oscillation of the medium particle is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
• Let us consider each option given in the question: polarization is phenomenon proved that light in a traverse wave.
• Polarization is a process in which an unpolarized light travelling in a different plane is passed through a polarizer and gets polarized to move in  single plane.
• The traverse light propagates in the direction perpendicular to the direction of oscillation of its medium particle and therefore has two planes of vibration. when this light is passed through a polarizer it gets polarized to vibrate through a single plane. therefore polarization shows the traverse nature of light.
