प्रश्न

Can we conclude from the interference phenomenon whether light is a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?

एका वाक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

The interference pattern can be produced by any two coherent waves moving in the same direction. It cannot be concluded from the interference phenomenon that light is a transverse wave, as sound waves that are longitudinal in nature also interfere.
