Light waves are

Question

Light waves are (A) longitudinal waves (B) electromagnetic waves (C) transverse wave (D) Both (b) and (c)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Light waves are transverse in nature; i.e., the electric field associated with a propagating light wave is always at right angles to the direction of propagation of the wave. We can say light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves.
