Question #1
Polarization impossible in:
A. Radio waves
B. Light
C. X-rays
D. Sound in air

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Polarization requires transverse waves. Sound in air is longitudinal (oscillations ∥ propagation) ⇒ cannot be polarized. EM waves (light, radio, X-rays) are transverse ⇒ can be polarized. Memory tip: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse only; sound = longitudinal ⇒ no polarization'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive exams.
