It can act as both

Both. For more information, read the Wikipedia article (or some other source) on "wave-particle duality".
The wave behavior can be seen in phenomena such as interference.The particle behavior can be seen, among other things, in the photoelectric effect.
Absorption, Reflection & Refraction.
It can act as both
Light doesn't really feature in chemistry but on the rare occasions it does it is as a wave and a form of energy, not a particle.
Light behaves simultaneously as a wave and as a particle.
the duality paradox
No it also behaves like a particle

It can be absorbed, refracted or reflected
Yes.
-- If the detector is designed to detect wave characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a wave when it encounters that detector. -- If the detector is designed to detect particle characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a particle when it encounters that detector.
