What is correct for all transverse waves a) They will involve the oscillation of the atoms b) They can all be polarized c) They can travel through a vacuum
Answer: They can all be polarized
Explanation
Transverse waves involve oscillations perpendicular to the direction of travel and can be polarized, while they do not necessarily require a medium to travel (e.g., light waves).
