Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

Light energy is an invisible energy which is electromagnetic in nature.

Answer 1

This statement is true. 

Explanation:

• Light energy is electromagnetic in nature and does not require a material medium for propagation.
• Visible light itself is not seen while travelling; we see objects when light reflected or emitted from them enters our eyes.
• Light travels as transverse electromagnetic waves consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
