Q: Fermat's principle states that what will always take the path that takes the least amount of time?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Light is a wave of changing electric and magnetic fields. Light waves are caused by disturbances in an electromagnetic field, like the acceleration of charged particles (such as electrons). Light has a dual nature; at times, it acts like waves, while at other times it acts like particles, called photons . Light travels through space at the maximum speed allowed by the laws of physics, called the speed of light. Light has no mass, but it carries energy and momentum. Fermat's principle states that light will always take the path that takes the least amount of time (not distance).

 Choices:

- sound

- wind

- electricity

- light


A:
light
