What are Light Waves also called?
It might be photons.
Is it true or false that light possesses two properties called photons and waves?
The statement "light possesses two properties: photons and waves" is not true because photons are not a property of light: they're the way light is emitted and absorbed. The correct statement is "light possesses two properties: particles and waves." Other properties of light include intensity, propagation direction, frequency, polarization. More information: Wave/Particle duality of light is one of the longest running paradoxes in Physics. It's wave characteristics, as described by Schrodinger function, are well proven. It's particle characteristics are also well evidenced though only directly at short ranges and lifetimes. The original assumption that all light comes in Photon particles with mass came from gravitational lensing,- light bent by large objects. We now better understand about curved space time curving everything, massive or not, but light is still described as wave bundle /corpuscles. The Photon is not a 'property', the two characteristics current physics uses are are 'waves' and 'particles'. 'Light' is simply a limited section of the energy wave spectrum that happens to be 'visible' to many creatures living on planet earth.
Is light only made out of photons or even just waves and how can we see waves in a form of light?
Light can be understood as both particles (photons) and waves. According to the wave-particle duality concept in quantum mechanics, light exhibits properties of both particles and waves. We cannot directly see light waves, but we can observe their effects, such as the illumination of objects or interference patterns, which can be detected by our eyes or scientific instruments.
Do photons of blue light have more or less energy than photons of red light?
Photons of Blue light have more energy than photons of red light. Ultraviolet have even more, x rays yet more, gamma rays still more, and some cosmic rays still a lot more. Infrared have less, and radio waves have less, and other waves have even less.
Is light matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
Does light produce photons and waves?
yes
What are Light Waves also called?
It might be photons.
How does light demonstrates quantization?
The energy in light waves comes in units called photons
How visible light waves travel through a vacuum?
Light waves are not like sound waves, they do not require any medium for the wave to move because they themselves are made up of particles called photons. The distance between two photons in a ray of light is called its wavelength.

How does light energy move from one place to another?
It moves as particles(photons) AND as waves.
What energy can we see?
We can see a tiny portion of electromagnetic waves called photons, or light.
What is a solidified photons?
Photons are electromagnetic waves/particles, most commonly seen as light and by definition can not be solidified but that may be proven wrong someday
What are characteristic of light waves?
Visible light waves are electromagnetic waves, within a certain range of frequencies. The wavelength of visible light is between about 400 and 700 nm. Some of the characteristics of electromagnetic waves include:* Carried by particles called photons* The wave is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields* In a vacuum, this wave (and the photons) propagates at the so-called speed of light, which is about 300 million meters/second.
