It can be reflected, refracted and polarised. It also shows the phenomenon of interference. (Young's double slit experiment) The above are the properties of waves. Light shows these properties and thus, this defines light as a wave.
Light behaves in TWO ways. It has the properties of BOTH Waves and Particles in its motion and transmission.
It "is" neither; however, light interference is related to light's wave-like properties, not to its particle-like properties. Interference is something that affects all sorts of waves.
Photons are the fundamental particles of light, they exhibit wave-particle duality, which means they show properties of both waves and particles.
There are TWO THEORIES of light propagation, WAVE and PARTICLE. The WAVE theory shares commonality with waves in a Pond in that they are both represented by a SINE Wave. They each have an Amplitude and a Frequency.

transverse; longitudinal.
Yes, light has both properties of light, and 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.

light has properties of both a wave and a particle whereas sound travels exclusively as a waves. i think Einstein did some work with light waves
The wave model of light and the particle model of light.
water waves, light waves, and sound waves
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
