Want this question answered?
it has the properties of a wave (:
Polarization and Interference confirm light is a wave.
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.
In some experiments, light appeared to have wave properties, but in others, it appeared to have particle properties. The two ideas were believed to be in conflict - light was believed to be either one or the other. However, today it is accepted that light has both particle and wave properties.
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.
