Does light behave primarily as a wave or as a particle when it interacts with a detector?

-- 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.
