Light is both a wave and a particle depending on circumstances; this is referred to as the wave-particle duality of light.
... monitored with a detector designed to detect wave characteristics. When monitored with a detector designed to detect particle characteristics, light demonstrates those too.
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
Light is sometimes described as a wave and sometimes as a particle. Give evidence to support the wave of natural light
photon
That means that light is both things: a particle and a wave.
-- If the detector is designed to detect wave characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a wave when it encounters that detector. -- If the detector is designed to detect particle characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a particle when it encounters that detector.

Einstein. He stated that light acts as both a particle and a wave.
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.
Both. E = mc2(squared) wave is an energy form while m is mass (particle) einstein proved that light acts as wave and particle at the same time.
wave theory of light
it has the properties of a wave and a particle
Light can be considered as a wave, or as a particle. As a particle, the particles are called photons. As a wave, light is an electromagnetic wave. In either case, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 300,000 km/sec.
