Electromagnetic waves transport _:
Correct answer: A. Energy and momentum
- A. Energy and momentum
- B. Energy
- C. Momentum
- D. None of these
Explanation
Electromagnetic waves transport both energy and momentum. Energy is carried as the wave propagates through space, and momentum is transferred when the wave interacts with matter. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fully capture the dual nature of what electromagnetic waves 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.
