well, right now it is believed that light travels in waves and is made up of massless particles called photons. these waves propagate at a constant speed, 3*10^8 m/s. Nothing can travel faster than this speed and nothing can travel the speed of light if it is not massless (so sorry, no hyperspace travel yet)
while light always travels at the same speed, the frequency and wavelength of these propagating waves are not always the same. In the visible spectrum, the highest frequency waves are viewed as purple and the lowest frequency waves are red. The faster the frequency, the more energetic the wave. the frequency, wavelength, and speed of light are related to each other by this equation: speed of light=wavelength*frequency when dealing with the electromagnetic spectrum it is often easier to refer to light as electromagnetic radiation, especially when dealing with very high and very low frequencies that result in infrared, ultraviolet, radio, x-ray, etc.
there is a lot of information out there about light, I'm just scratching the surface :-)

What is meant by Albert Einstein's idea that light has a dual nature?
Light is meant to help you see but if too bright it can blind you.
Who proposed the dualistic nature of light and extended this idea to electrons?
In 1924 de Broglie proposed that a material particle such as an electron might have a dual nature.
What is the present word for light?
Light is the present tense.
Scientific study of nature and properties of light called?
== == Study of Light & Nature of Light is called " OPTICS "
What makes light bright?
Because of photons present in the light which have no mass the light we see is bright in nature but in other lights like in UV Rays no photons are found so we can`t see it but the visible light septrum we can able to see as it contain PHOTONS
What are the proofs of the particle nature light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
