Matter is anything that has mass and volume. Therefore, light cannot be termed as matter as it has neither. Light is made of atoms and elements.

Why are two models needed to describe light?

Two models are needed to describe light because light behaves both like a wave and a particle. Wave theory is used to describe the wave-like properties of light such as interference and diffraction, while particle theory is used to describe phenomena like the photoelectric effect. Both models are necessary to fully explain the behavior of light in different situations.
