... is called the "wave-particle duality", and is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics.
You didn't really ask an actual question per se, so I just kind of finished the sentence for you.
The fact that light can behave as both a wave and a particle is called wave-particle duality. This principle is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics and is demonstrated by phenomena like the double-slit experiment.
The dual nature of radiation refers to the fact that electromagnetic radiation, like light, exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. This duality is described by quantum mechanics, where radiation can behave as waves in some experiments (wave-particle duality) and as particles (photons) in others.
It's the basic unit of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. If you're asking if it's "light" in the weight sense, yes. It has a rest mass of zero; you can't get lighter than that.
No. To explain the photoelectric effect, you have to think of light as a particle, not a wave. The fact that light can be both a wave and a particle is part of quantum mechanics, not classical physics.
The term used to describe this duality of electromagnetic radiation is "wave-particle duality." It is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, where light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation exhibit characteristics of both waves and particles.

it has the properties of a wave and a particle
Lasers don't really "make use" of either the wave or particle nature of light. Or they make use of both. But because a laser emits what is called coherent light, it could be argued that the wave nature of light is best at describing the light the laser emits.Lasers make use of Boltzmann energy distribution statistics, which doesn't have anything to do with the particle or wave description of light. Lasers work by creating a population inversion in a chemical compound which creates stimulated emission when excited.Light has both wave-like and particle-like properties at the same time. It is said to exhibit particle-wave duality. Light is what it is -- the fact that we describe it using both a particle and a wave description is only a reflection of our inability to fully describe light in using one single intuitive model (because we have no intuitive experience with things that have both wave and particle properties simultaneously).

No, the quark is not both fact and fiction. It is fact. The six quarks have all been observed in the results of particle accelerator experiments (collisions) in high energy physics laboratories.
Light can act like a particle when it bounces of a mirror and back at you so that you can see the image but can also act like a wave when it goes thought a small gap and spreds out aas it goes thought
Light is electromagnetic radiation, usually within the range of frequency/wavelength to which the human eye is responsive. Light can also be described as "photons", which are "particles" of light. In fact scientists don't have a complete picture of what light is. It's probably something that is neither a simple wave nor particle, but some sort of combination of the two. That's part of "quantum physics". Scientists rely on the fact that light behaves as a wave or as a particle, depending on the circumstances of its observation.
They are similar in the fact that both of them are sub-atomic particles and apart from protium( 1H) atom, both of theare presem together are present in every atom.
