MCQ
Making a light wave vibrate in only one plane is known as:
- ARefraction.
- BInterference
- CDiffraction
- DPolarization.
✓
Answer
- Polarization.
Explanation:
Light in the form of a plane wave in space is said to be linearly polarized. Light is a transverse electromagnetic wave, but natural light is generally unpolarized, all planes of propagation being equally probable.
The process of making the light wave vibrated in a single plane is known as polarization.
