Solution

The correct option is B

It cannot pass through the vacuum.


Light is a non-mechanical wave that means it doesn't need a medium to travel. So, it can travel through vacuum. Wavelength and amplitude of light can change depending upon medium but its frequency remains constant because it only depends upon the source.
