just a thought on question 5, can light not be classed as a wave? i know it is em radiation but it is also a wave/particle. and i think question 6 is more a biology question! but maybe I’m mad cos i got it wrong!

to frank,
hi,
firstly, of all i’m extremely sorry for late reply.

secondly,
the question 5 which you mentioned.
in this the answer is right because:
radiation is an energy which can propagate either as wave or particle. so electromeagnetic radiation describes light in a much specific way.

Again for Q#5, gas would imply units or molecules with mass and volume but light, being made up of photons, is actually pure energy; without mass. Could you clarify this for me? Thanks!
