Polarization of Transverse Waves
Which of the following best explains why transverse waves can be polarized but longitudinal waves cannot?
A
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to their direction of propagation, allowing selective transmission of specific orientations
B
Transverse waves have longer wavelengths than longitudinal waves, facilitating polarization through wavelength-dependent filters
C
Transverse waves have higher frequencies than longitudinal waves, enabling polarization through frequency filtering
D
Transverse waves carry more energy than longitudinal waves, allowing for selective energy transmission during polarization
