MCQ
Light waves can be polarised because they:
- AHave high frequencies
- BHave short wavelength
- CAre transverse
- DCan be reflected
✓
Answer
- Are transverse
Explanation:
Polarisation of light waves is possible only because they can oscillate in more than one orientation i.e., they are transverse in nature. It has no dependence on its wavelength and frequencies.
