Light as Wave Phenomenon

Assertion (A): Light is a wave phenomenon.
Reason (R): Light requires a material medium for its propagation.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Light is an electromagnetic wave and can travel through vacuum, so it does not require a material medium for propagation. Thus, Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
