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.
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).
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.
When light behaves like a particle what is the particle called?
A photon.
Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.

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.

A photon.

The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
What is the light est subatomic particle?
The lightest subatomic particle is the electron.
Discovery of particle theory of light?
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), an atomist, proposed a particle theory of light.
Is it possible to get more speed then light to the particle with accelerator?
No. The more energy the accelerator can give the particle, the closer the particle can approach to the speed of light, but it can never reach exactly that speed.
Why can't light be classified as a separate particle with wave and particle nature?
Not sure what you mean, as the photon is classified as a separate particle. Light, like electrons, sometimes displays particle characteristics and sometimes displays wave characteristics.
What is the wave particle of light?
photon
