HEY BROTHER!

_______________________

Light is a form of energy which helps us to view the objects around us (visible light).


_______________________
Light waves are electromagnetic waves because they can travel even in the absence of a material medium, i.e., they do not need any medium for propagation. They can also travel in vacuum.


_______________________
Spectrum is the band of colours which is obtained on a screen when a polychromatic ray of light is dispersed (split) by a prism. Polychromatic light can only give spectrum, because in it, light rays of different wavelengths are mixed, which gets dispersed because of difference of their speeds.

HOPE MY ANSWER IS SATISFACTORY!

Rajdeep11111: And where am I wrong?
Rajdeep11111: Clearly written;' because it does not need any medium for its propagation, unlike mechanical waves.
