| Q. |
What is the phenomenon which established the transverse nature of light? |
| A. | Reflection |
| B. | Interference |
| C. | Diffraction |
| D. | Polarisation |
| Answer» D. Polarisation | |
|
Explanation: The phenomena which proves the transverse nature alight is polarization. Since the intensity of polarized light on passing through a tourmaline crystal changes, with the relative orientation of its crystallo-graphic axes with that of the polarizer, therefore light must consist of transverse waves. Transverse waves are waves that are oscillating perpendicularly to the direction of propagation |
