Polarization explains light is _.
Correct answer: C. Both A & B
- A. Electric in nature
- B. Magnetic in nature
- C. Both A & B
- D. None of these
Explanation
Polarization explains that light is an electromagnetic wave and has both electric and magnetic components. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Both A & B. Light consists of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and propagating in the form of electromagnetic waves. The phenomenon of polarization refers to the alignment of the electric field vector in a specific direction, resulting in specific characteristics of light waves.

About Dawn of Modern Physics
Classical physics cannot explain blackbody radiation and related observations, leading to Planck’s quantum theory, in which energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets. Photons provide the particle model of light, with energy and momentum linked to frequency and wavelength, including the photoelectric effect and its threshold frequency.
