Solution

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.
