Polarization of light exhibited the nature of light as:
Correct answer: C. Transverse wave
- A. Longitudinal wave
- B. Compressional wave
- C. Transverse wave
- D. Electromagnetic wave
Explanation
Polarization of light is a phenomenon that occurs when a transverse wave such as light is restricted to vibrating in a particular plane. This means that the electric field and magnetic field vectors of the light wave oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
