RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (17-Sep-2026) (Shift 1)

Electromagnetic Energy

Gravitational Potential Energy

Nuclear Energy

Mechanical Energy

The correct answer is

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.
