Question
Light waves are _____ but not _____ in nature
- Mechanical, transverse
- Transverse, mechanical
- Longitudinal, mechanical
- Mechanical, longitudinal
Hint:
The light waves are transverse waves like the sound waves but they are not mechanical waves.
The correct answer is: Transverse, mechanical
- The light waves are transverse like the sound waves.
- The light waves are not mechanical waves.
- They propagate faster in a vacuum and travel faster in the air.
