The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Light is a/an," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the nature of light. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Light**: - Light, in general terms, refers to the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is detectable by the human eye. 2. **Identifying the Nature of Light**: - Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. This means it consists of waves of electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A: Electromagnetic wave**: This is correct because light is indeed an electromagnetic wave. - **Option B: Infrared waves**: This is incorrect because infrared waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation but are not what we typically refer to as "light." - **Option C: Ultrasonic wave**: This is incorrect as ultrasonic waves are sound waves, not electromagnetic waves. - **Option D: X-ray**: This is also incorrect since x-rays are another form of electromagnetic radiation, but they are not the visible light we are discussing. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option A: Electromagnetic wave**. ### Final Answer: Light is an **electromagnetic wave**. ---
