In some experiments, light appeared to have wave properties, but in others, it appeared to have particle properties. The two ideas were believed to be in conflict - light was believed to be either one or the other. However, today it is accepted that light has both particle and wave properties.
yes it supports the wave theory of light...
Particle theory of light can explain Photoelectric Effect,Compton effect,Pair production.... wave theory of light can explain interference,refraction...
this is a much more complicated question than perhaps you realise. try looking up "wave particle duality" photons have the strange characteristic of haveing properties of both a wave and a particle.

Give a brief account of huygen wave theory of light
Christian Huygens' was one of the first to suggest that light was a wave. His theory, the wave theory of light, stated this, it was opposed by Newton's idea that light was a particle. More recently, scientists such as Thomas Young and Max Planck proved this theory with experiments. So, simply put, the wave theory states that light is a wave, which, as far as we know, is correct.

Newton's corpuscular theory Huygen's mechanical wave theory Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory Finally Planck's quantum theory LIght as a single "photon" acts somewhat differently than a wave (of energy).

Photo electric emission cannot be explained using wave theroy of light. We need quantum theory.
It is the wave theory of light that best explains interference. The particle theory has problems when applied to this observable phenomenon.
