Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Light shows duality i.e it shows properties of both particle as well as wave.

Answer 2

Option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Light may be defined as the form of energy and electromagnetic radiation and marks the visible spectrum. The speed of the light in the vacuum is 3 × 10^8m/s.

The main source of the light in the earth is sun. Light shows the dual property. This means that light has both the properties as it can acts as particle as well as the wave.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
