Yes it can abhi.........if not we would be bumping in to each other, unable 2 see anything.......cos light is a transverse wave.

MY ANSWER IS TOO SIMPLE SO I SUPPOSE THERE IS ANOTHER TWIST IN THE TALE?? [3]

since propogation of the wave depends on the oscilation of particles (?), material waves do require a medium to propogate (?)

hmm.. i think they can't

maybe because the "material" is too loosely bound in this case....
