Electrimagnetic waves are transverse is nature is evident by

A

polarization

B

interference

C

reflection

D

diffraction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
An electromagnetic wave.s vibrations are restricted by polarization, in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. Polarization, therefore, explains the transverse nature of light.
