What light exhibits characteristics of?

both waves and particles


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.

Does light only travel in waves?

If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures wave properties and then run light through it, light behaves like waves. If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures particle properties and then run light through it, light behaves like particles. Light exhibits the propertiers of both waves and particles.


Is light a Gas liquid or gas?

Light is neither solid nor liquid, but, it is difficult to discern whether it is a gas either, as the particles in gases are not bound like light particles. So, it isn't really either of the three, although, if you say that light particles are bound together, then you could say that light is a solid.

Is light only made out of photons or even just waves and how can we see waves in a form of light?

Light can be understood as both particles (photons) and waves. According to the wave-particle duality concept in quantum mechanics, light exhibits properties of both particles and waves. We cannot directly see light waves, but we can observe their effects, such as the illumination of objects or interference patterns, which can be detected by our eyes or scientific instruments.
