Earlier, we have studied that light is an electromagnetic wave but from our interactive notion, we realise that light travels in a straight line. Which of the given point justify both the contradictory facts?

Question

The wavelength of light is very small compared to the size of ordinary objects that we encounter commonly (generally of the order of a few centimetres or larger).

Q. Earlier, we have studied that light is an electromagnetic wave but from our interactive notion, we realise that light travels in a straight line. Which of the given point justify both the contradictory facts?

Of the order of wavelength of light

Much larger than wavelength of light

Of the order of one millimetre

The wavelength of light is much smaller compared to the size of ordinary objects

The wavelength of light is very small compared to the size of ordinary objects that we encounter commonly (generally of the order of a few centimetres or larger).
