Answer:

Light is energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Light may be defined as a form of energy which enables us to see things. Light is also known as visible light. It is the electromagnetic radiation which lies in the region of electromagnetic spectrum that is visible by the human eye.

Radio waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths than visible light. They are less energetic than the visible light.

Micro waves also have longer wavelengths than the visible light, but it has more energy than the radio waves.
