A light wave can propagate
A light wave can propagate
Options
- Athrough a material medium
- Bsolely through a material medium
- Csolely through a vacuum
- Dthrough a vacuum
Correct answer
D. through a vacuum
Step-by-step solution
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for their propagation, which means they can travel through a vacuum.
They can also propagate through transparent material media such as glass, water, and air.
Therefore, a light wave can propagate through both a material medium and a vacuum.
