Can light behave as a particle or as a wave?
It can act as both
In What different ways can light behave or act?
Absorption, Reflection & Refraction.
Does a light wave act like a moving particle?
yes and possibly no im not sure hope this helped
How do you detect if light is a particle or a wave?
Light is both a wave and a particle depending on circumstances; this is referred to as the wave-particle duality of light.
Is light a particle?
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
Can light behave as a particle or as a wave?
It can act as both
What convinced scientists that light is a particle?
Nothing. Scientists believe that light can act as both a particle and a wave. Look up the famous double-slit experiment.
In What different ways can light behave or act?
Absorption, Reflection & Refraction.
What give us light?
Light is given by a subatomic particle called a photon. All types of light are transferred by this from gamma rays to microwaves. Although It is called a particle from the double slit experiment we can see that the photon can act like particle and a wave
Was feynman wrong in saying light is a particle?
Most likely not. Light is made up of photons, and even photons have mass..Thus light is a particle as particles are mass. But to confuse you, even though light = photons & photons = particle & particle = mass; the photons also act as a wave. Which is rather incredible, because it means that a mass also acts as a wave.
Does a light wave act like a moving particle?
yes and possibly no im not sure hope this helped

Is light a particle?
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
How can you prove that light is a particle?
The photoelectric effect was pretty definitive evidence that light is a particle (well, at least sometimes a particle).
What are the proofs of the particle nature light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
Proofs of the particle nature of light?
Albert Einstein's Photo-electric effect is one of the proof of the particle nature of light. The experiment on the wave particle duality is another proof pf the particle nature of light.
A particle scatters light if it is larger than the of light?
Yes if the size of the particle is greater than the wavelength of light falling on it.
