Which one of the following cannot be polarized?
Correct answer: A. radio waves
- A. radio waves
- B. ultraviolet rays
- C. X-rays
- D. ultrasonic waves
Explanation
Explanation: Radio waves are typically not polarized. Unlike light waves, which can be easily polarized using filters, radio waves do not have a significant tendency to exhibit polarization.

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.
