Answer 1

Answer:

A. White light is the absence of all color.

Explanation:

It is false that white light is the absence of all color. In fact, white light is the presence of all colors in the spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves are waves that do not require any material medium for propagation. It is the interaction of electric and magnetic fields.

• The higher frequency electromagnetic waves like the gamma-rays and x-rays have more energy.
• The sun furnishes the universe with electromagnetic energy.
• The higher the wavelength, the lesser the energy of the electromagnetic radiation.
