Polarization is a property of?
Polarization is a property of transverse waves.
Does sound waves show polarization property?
No. Polarization only applies to transverse waves; and sound in gases like air, at least, can only be longitudinal waves.
Does plane polarization occur in a transverse waves?
Transverse waves can be plane-polarized; longitudinal waves can not be.
Longitudinal wave do not exhibit in polarization or diffraction?
Longitudinal waves doesn't exhibit polarization or diffraction; these to features are for transverse waves.
What does polarization of light tell about the nature light?
Polarization indicates light has transverse waves.
What does a polarization experiment prove about light?
it explains d wave nature of light.
Examples of transverse waves?
waves produce in string fixed at one end sunlight as clear from polarization
Is refraction a property of transverse waves longitudinal waves or both?
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
What wave property did Francesco grimaldi study?
transverse waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?
That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
