Light has a dual nature, as outlined by Albert Einstein. That means that light has properties of both transverse waves and particles.

LaoYes, visible light is a transverse wave. This means that the oscillations of the light wave occur perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The electric and magnetic fields in a light wave oscillate perpendicular to each other as well as to the direction of the wave's travel.

Is a light wave transverse?
it sure is!!yes, light waves is a transverse wave.
Which phenomenon of light establishes its transverse nature of vibrations?
The phenomenon of polarization establishes the transverse nature of light vibrations. When light waves are polarized, their electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, demonstrating that light is a transverse wave.
What kind of wave has matter at right angles to direction wave travels?
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include light and electromagnetic waves.
What is true about traNSVERSE WAVE?
A transverse wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves. Transverse waves can exhibit properties such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
