A) light is a longitudinal wave
B) light is a transverse wave
C) light is not a wave
D) light travels with the velocity of\[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The polarization is the property of electromagnetic waves such as light which describes the direction of their transverse electric field. More generally, the polarization of transverse wave describes the direction of oscillation, in the plane perpendicular to the direction of travel. Longitudinal waves such as sound waves do not exhibit polarization, because for these waves the direction of oscillation is along the direction of travel.
