Explanation:
Light is made up of tiny fundamental bits called photons.
if you shine a continuous beam of light through a shutter that is repeatedly opening and closing, you can create gaps. But if you shine a continuous beam of light into free space, the wave will start with no gaps and therefore develop no gaps as it travels , same happens with stars also.
Spreading out a wave over a larger area just causes the wave strength to weaken, but does not cause gaps to form. Therefore, if you look at photons as waves, spatial gaps never form in light as it travels through free space, no matter how dim it gets. The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.
Answer:
When the light travels from a distant star ; the light spread out but its waves strength continuously goes on decreasing as light advances . The further we are from Star lessor number of photons we have received . or we can say that the number of photons coming per second to our eyes decreases . But they form gaps .
Hope ! answer will helpful for you....
