One of the big questions. Depending on the test you make it can show either properties of a particle or a wave.

Is light energy considered to be a wave or a particle?
It has properties of both.
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 does the speed of a photon compare with the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
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.
Is light a particle?
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
What kind of wave is light considered?
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.

Is light a wave or a particle and why?
Light is sometimes described as a wave and sometimes as a particle. Give evidence to support the wave of natural light
What is the wave particle of light?
photon
Wave and prticle duality of light?
That means that light is both things: a particle and a wave.
Who proposed the wave particle duality of nature?
Einstein. He stated that light acts as both a particle and a wave.
Does light behave as a wave or a particle in chemistry?
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.
Does light have more wave or particle properties?
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.
