matter waves as waves travel faster.. however you must know that we assume this condition to balance the Kinetic energy and energy of a photon according to plank's quantum theory and have no experimental proof about it :)
1) Photo-electric effect. 2) Spectrum of black-body radiation. 3) Compton scattering spectrum. 4) Disappearence of interference pattern with two slits, if a way is made to determine which slit the light went through. All three of these can be easily explained by assuming that light is composed of photons, and that the energy of those photons is proportional to the frequency of the light. None of three can be explained by assuming light is purely an electro-magnetic wave.
The scientist should use a light microscope.
There's no proof that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but according to Einstein's theory of relativity as an object moves more quickly it also gains mass. Accordingly accelerating an object up to the speed of light would require infinite energy because it gets harder and harder to push the faster it goes.
No, no houseis earthquake proof.
I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum. A photon has both energy and momentum.I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum.

Take a mass of 1 gram. Convert it entirely to energy, and measure that energy. You will find that this energy is equal to the square of the speed of light.

Light actually travels in waves.This is known to be true because there are only 3 ways that energy can be transferred. As you probably already know, light does not need a medium to travel through because it travels through space. Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy transfer that do not require a medium to travel through.
Yes, they do indeed make venetian blinds that are light proof to prevent light from entering the room. They are extremely expensive.
That sounds like the description of an auxiliary line.
The film is light sensitive and if it wasn't in a light proof cassette then the film would be surrounded by light so the picture that it takes would be ruined.
No.
From rectilinear propagation of light.

Technically light is not a particle nor a wave, due to particle-wave duality. However it is commonly referred to as a particle, the photon. Then again, there is also the photon field in which photons live, so the entire picture is somewhat complicated. One of the major signs that light had some particle-like qualities came from the photo-electric effect (which incidentally landed Albert Einstein his Nobel prize). The photo-electric effect happens when high energy photons (or high frequency light if you like) strikes a metal and the light evicts an electron from the metal. What was surprising is that the amount of released electrons dropped to zero below a certain frequency. But increasing the frequency much above that threshold likewise did not lead to additional released electrons, it only increased the energy of these so-called photo-electrons. Increasing the intensity of the light does increase the number of released electrons, but it does not increase the energy of the photo-electrons. This was very counter-intuitive for people who regarded light as being just a wave because increasing the intensity should increase the energy and thus also the energy of the released electrons. Through the work of Einstein we now know that increasing the intensity increases the number of photons in the light beam, and more photons means more collisions to release electrons. But each photon does not gain more energy with increased intensity (you just get more protons) which explains why the energy of the released electrons was insensitive to the intensity of the light. With the advent of quantum mechanics it is now clear that the electromagnetic field is quantized; it comes in small packages called photons.
