The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided, we can break down the solution into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that "Visible light is an electromagnetic wave." - This is true because visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all types of electromagnetic radiation. 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement also claims that "Visible light is an electromagnetic wave." - This is again true, as it reiterates the same fact as Statement 1. 3. **Explanation of Why Visible Light is an Electromagnetic Wave**: - Electromagnetic waves, including visible light, are produced by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields. - These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum. 4. **Conclusion on the Truth of the Statements**: - Both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not provide any additional information or explanation about Statement 1. - Therefore, while both statements are correct, Statement 2 does not elaborate on why Statement 1 is true. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct conclusion is that both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1.
