Both. For more information, read the Wikipedia article (or some other source) on "wave-particle duality".
It can act as both
Albert
it can behave like a particle and like a wave (a photon and the E.M spectrum) are the dual properties of light.
Yes. Depending on the experiment that you do, light acts like either one or the other.
the duality paradox
No it also behaves like a particle

Light doesn't really feature in chemistry but on the rare occasions it does it is as a wave and a form of energy, not a particle.
Yes. Depending on the experiment that you do, light acts like either one or the other.
Light behaves simultaneously as a wave and as a particle.

the duality paradox
The wave behavior can be seen in phenomena such as interference.The particle behavior can be seen, among other things, in the photoelectric effect.
Absorption, Reflection & Refraction.
It can be absorbed, refracted or reflected
