Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electromagnetic radiation is made up of tiny particles called photons, which have both wave-like and particle-like properties. This is the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics. Option A is incorrect as electromagnetic radiation has been extensively studied and measured. Option C is incorrect as electromagnetons do not exist in physics. Option D is incorrect as electromagnetic radiation includes visible light, but also other types of energy such as radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
