Question

Light travels in the form of

• A. Waves
• B. Packets
• C. Straight Lines
• D. None Of These

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Waves

Lightwave:

1. A light wave is a type of electromagnetic wave that travels through a vacuum or through any medium.
2. An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. It has both an electric and a magnetic component.
3. Electromagnetic waves exist with a large range of frequencies.

Explanation:

1. Light contains characteristics of both waves and particles.
2. Particles are described as packets of energy, which are called photons.
3. When light rays travel from one medium to another, like air to water, these linear paths are altered.
4. So in the continuity of its motion, light travel in waves.

Hence, the correct option is option A.
