Q: Light is a transverse wave, which of the only event proving this?
  • A. dispersion of light
  • B. interference
  • C. diffusion
  • D. polarization
Correct Answer: Option D - The phenomenon of polarization of light proves that light waves are transverse waves. Polarization occurs only in transverse waves, which are related to the direction of their oscillations. The moving sound waves in a gas or liquid do not exhibit the properties of polarization.
