The energy of light (photon) is a form of ______.
Electromagnetic Energy
The energy carried by light, or a photon, is a form of electromagnetic energy, since light itself is an electromagnetic wave.
Gravitational potential energy, nuclear energy and mechanical energy arise from entirely different physical sources unrelated to light itself.
Hence, Electromagnetic Energy is the correct answer.
