MCQ
Choose the correct option about light.
  • A
    Light requires a material medium to travel from one place to another.
  • B
    Light does not require a material medium to propagate.
  • C
    Light has mass but it is negligible.
  • D
    Light waves are longitudinal wave.

Answer

  1. Light does not require a material medium to propagate.

Explanation:

Light does not need medium to travel. Its an electromagnetic wave. All electromagnetic waves travel independent of medium.
