Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is made up of particles called photons. While photons do not have mass, they do have energy and momentum, which means that light behaves both as a wave and as particles.

Why air is matter but light is not?

Air is considered matter because it has mass and occupies space, meeting the definition of matter. Light, on the other hand, is made up of massless particles called photons and does not have mass or occupy space like particles of matter do.


Is your reflection in the mirror made of matter?

No. It's caused by the material in the mirror reflecting the light that hits the mirror back at you. So you might say a reflection is made of light. Actually this answer depends on defining matter. By Einstein's modern definition of matter, which includes photons (due to its type of energy) It is matter. SO IT IS MATTER.


Is sound and light made up of matter?

Describe matter and explain why light is not matter?

Matter consists of atoms and molecules that have mass and occupy space. Light, on the other hand, is a form of energy that behaves like a wave and a particle (photon). It does not have mass or occupy space in the same way that matter does, which is why it is not considered matter.
