MCQ
The transverse nature of light is shown by:
- AInterference of light
- BRefraction of light
- ✓Polarization of light
- DDispersion of light
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Polarization of light
Polarisation of light establishes that light are transverse in nature, otherwise it was believed that they are longitudinal waves, like the sound waves.
