Question
Light waves are
- Longitudinal
- Transverse
- Partly longitudinal, partly transverse
- Sometimes longitudinal, sometimes transverse.
Hint:
Transverse
The correct answer is: Transverse
all electromagnetic waves i.e., light are transverse waves as the vibrate energy in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is travelling.
