Which scientist said that the light is a wave?
Christian Huygens
Is light considered a electromagnetic wave?
Light is said to be of dual nature so it has particle nature as well as wave nature but there is a difference in waves and electromagnetic waves. so ,as for your question "Is light a electromagnetic wave" the answer is "no"More precisely, if visible is not an electromagnetic wave, the NO part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be considered to be an electromagnetic wave. By any definition of the term, the answer is 'Yes'
Give examples for dual nature of light?
The dual nature of light suggests that light exhibits the characteristics of both waves and particles. Light can seem to be particles in that it has discrete chunks (quanta, photons) of energy. Light can also seem to be waves, such as when you have light of one color go through two slits the light from the two paths interfere and cause bands of light and dark on a screen behind the slits. People have 'proven' that light is one or the other, but the truth is in between. You might think of a photon as a little packet of waves, as if you took a long rope or hose and sent a burst of waves down it.Light is more commonly known as photons in particle physics. Photons sometimes act like billiard balls, meaning they come into contact with matter and reflect, deflect, absorb, or refract off of it. On the other hand, photons sometimes act like waves and interfere with one another and themselves in such a way that only waves could be the possible answer for their actions.I want to make sure that it is understood that not only does the photon itself act like a ball, it also itself acts like a wave - all by itself. No matter what experiment you do, either the photons will act like billiard balls, or will act like waves.It's called the "wave/particle duality" of the nature of light (and all other forms ofelectromagnetic radiation too).It means that if you set up an experiment to detect and measure the behavior of waves,you find that light has it. And then, if you set up a different experiment to detect and measurethe behavior of particles, you find that light has plenty of that too. Whichever kind of behavioryou're looking for, light has it.
When the energy in light waves transfers to matter?
Then the light is said to be ABSORBED.
Who was the Italian scientist that said mass doesn't affect the time it takes to hit the ground?
It's Galileo.
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.
How does the use of fertilizer illustrate the dual nature of technology?
Many synthetic chemical fertilizers are said to increase yield for few years [benefit] but are said to make the land infertile or barren [loss] soon. This is apparent dual nature of technology.

What is the nature of light particle?
Light is said to exhibit wave-particle duality because it is observed to behave as both a wave and a particle. When we shine light into narrow slits, the phenomenon of interference occurs and leads us to believe that light behaves as a wave. On the other hand, if light is shone on a metal, the spray of electrons indicates light behaves as a particle. This is the dual nature (wave and particle) behaviour being referred to. Hope this helps!
Who said come forth into the light of things and let nature be your teacher?
William Wordsworth
Who proved that light consists of tiny particles?
The nature of light has been investigated by many important scientists from Isaac Newton to Albert Einstein, but it is not correct to say that light consists of tiny particles; light has both a particle nature and a wave nature, as explained by the science of quantum mechanics; it is sometimes said to consist of wavicles.
Why is a firefly said to be a natural source of light?
because at night they start to glow up and it is pretty bright. also fire flies are nature and the light of them is natural. :]
What is a dual theme of a story?
Any parallel plots that are carried through the story can be said to be dual themes.
Which scientist said an orbital must have opposite spins?
I believe no scientist said exactly this. It is the (two) electrons in the same orbital that must have opposite spins. And the scientist who said that was Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. (Pauli exclusion principle)
What did the scientist say to the hydrogen atom that claimed to have lost the electron?
The scientist said "Are you positive"
