Light is made up of small particles called “photons” (Option [D]). Photons are fundamental particles of light and electromagnetic radiation. They have zero rest mass, move at the speed of light, and carry energy proportional to their frequency. Photons exhibit properties of both particles and waves, as described by quantum mechanics. They interact with matter through processes such as absorption, emission, and scattering.
Atoms (Option [A]) are the basic units of matter composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Neutrons (Option [B]) are subatomic particles found in atomic nuclei. Positrons (Option [C]) are antimatter particles with the same mass as electrons but a positive charge. These options do not describe the fundamental particles of light. Therefore, photons are uniquely responsible for the transmission and interaction of electromagnetic radiation, making them the essential constituents of light according to modern physics.
