When light behaves like a particle what is the particle called?
A photon.
Which model of light states that light travels in a series of waves?
The wave theory of light is the idea, supported by a number of scientists over the years, that light behaves as waves. It has been superseded by Quantum theory, which says (in part) that light sometimes behaves like a particle and sometimes like a wave.
What ways in which sound behaves like light?
sound is form of energy and sound reflects a hard surface just like light
The study of how light behaves is called what?
Optics.
What are three ways light behaves?
reflects, refracts and reflects
When light behaves like a particle what is the particle called?
A photon.
Does light behave only like a wave?
No it also behaves like a particle
Is a wave a properties of light?
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.
Is a wave a propertie of light?
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.

Does light only travel in 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.
The study of how light behaves is called what?
Optics.
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.
What is the theory of photon in light?
That theory states that light behaves as group of particles.
What statement describes how light behaves when it strikes a translucent material?
Light is scattered
How does light behave as it travels in a straight line?
Light behaves simultaneously as a wave and as a particle.
