Well, you see light beams everyday, don't you?
No light wave ever acts like a mirror.
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.
No. Green light, like all electromagnetic waves, is a transverse wave.
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
Light is quite complicated as it has wave-particle duality. Sometimes it acts like a particle other times like a wave. But technically no, it is not matter, it is made of energy
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.

just think for a second... what does a transverse wave look like and what does visible light waves look like? the same? yes. yes it is transverse not longitudinal.
Light acts like both a particle and a wave.
they look like your mommy

Light is an electromagnetic wave and, like all waves, it has a speed.
It's typically called the "Wave-particle duality". And it's easily demonstrated, so it's not "just a theory". If you set up an experiment that will produce results from a wave but not from a stream of particles, a beam of light produces results. So light behaves like a wave. If you set up an experiment that will produce results from a stream of particles but not from a wave, a beam of light produces results. So light behaves like a stream of particles. Whichever one you look for ... waves or particles ... light behaves that way. So, next time someone asks you "Is light a wave or a stream of particles ?", you can answer him confidently, knowing that your answer is the correct one. The correct answer is "Yes ".
No. Green light, like all electromagnetic waves, is a transverse wave.
The normal points in the direction that the wave is traveling.
