Question

Light waves are

  1. Longitudinal
  2. Transverse
  3. Partly longitudinal, partly transverse
  4. Sometimes longitudinal, sometimes transverse.

hintHint:

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.
