Electromagnetic wave transport:
Correct answer: C. Both momentum and energy
- A. Energy only
- B. Momentum only
- C. Both momentum and energy
- D. Momentum end disturbance
Explanation
Electromagnetic waves transport both momentum and energy. The correct option is C. Option A and B are incorrect because electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum, not just one of them. Option D is also incorrect as 'disturbance' is not a definitive characteristic of electromagnetic wave transport.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
