Best Answer

The particle (photon) and wave (wavelength) characteristics of light.

E =hf = zQ2c/w where Q is the photon charge and w is the wavelength.

One problem with the above answer: the charge of a photon is zero.

E(photon) = hf

where 'h' is Planck's Constant and 'f' is the frequency of the vibrations of light.

hf = hc/w

where 'c' is the speed of light and 'w' is the wavelength of the light.

The more correct answer on "What are the dual characteristics of light" is that light will sometimes act like a wave and sometimes act like a particle -- and what it acts like depends on what experiment you are performing.

Why light has dual character?

WHY does light have a dual character? As far as we can tell, in our Universe, it just DOES. There's nothing about our Universe that would require that light sometimes behaves like a particle, but, whether we like it or not, in our Universe it does.

Why is light said to have dual matter?

It means that if you design an experiment to detect the behavior of particles, andrun light through it, light behaves as if it's made of particles. And if you design anexperiment to detect the behavior of waves, and run light through it, light behavesas if it's made of waves. Light has a "dual nature". That means it acts like two thingsthat we always thought were separate ... waves andparticles.
