Correct Answer: Light waves


Solution : The correct answer is Light waves .

Polarised waves can only be transverse waves. Sound waves in the air are longitudinal waves, which cannot be polarised. Only transverse waves can be polarised because they vibrate in all directions that are perpendicular to the direction of travel. Only because "light waves" are transverse and oscillate in more than one direction. It is not dependent on wavelength or frequency.
