Q.

Which of the following phenomenon helps to conclude that light is a transverse wave?

A. interference
B. diffraction
C. polarization
D. refraction
Answer» C. polarization
Explanation: The phenomena of interference and diffraction of light were successful beyond doubt to prove that light is a form of wave. But they failed to decide whether light is transverse or longitudinal wave. The fact that light is a transverse wave was established only after the discovery of the phenomenon of polarization.
