MCQ
Light waves can be polarised because they:
- AHave high frequencies
- BHave short wavelength
- ✓Are transverse
- DCan be reflected
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Are transverse
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.
