Question

Light waves can be polarised because of they

Options

• have high frequency

• have short wavelength

• are compressive

• are transverse

Answer 1

are transverse

Explanation: Polarisation is a property applying to transverse waves that specify the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is transverse to the direction of motion of the wave, so the oscillations can have different directions perpendicular to the wave direction.
