write about transverse nature of electromagnetic waves?why is it necessary?
Answers
Transverse Nature of Electromagnetic Waves. ... This nature of electromagnetic wave is known as Transverse nature. Maxwell proved that both the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other in the direction of wave propagation. He considered an electromagnetic wave propagating along positive x-axis. plz mark this answer as brainlist and follow me
Transverse nature of light is due to one of its phenomena called Polarisation of light...
This phenomena of light proves that light has transverse nature...
Light is an electromagnetic waves...it has oscillations of electric field in different directions...For simplicity we resolve all the components in X and Y direction...
When a light pass through a polariser , its intensity decreases...This shoudnt be happened according to longitudal nature of Light...Polariser allow only those electric field vector which aligned along its pass axis...Rest of the oscillations blocked as a result intensity decreases....
This phenomena of light is called polarisation of light and which shows light has transverse nature...
