How do you detect if light is a particle or a wave?
Light is both a wave and a particle depending on circumstances; this is referred to as the wave-particle duality of light.
Is light a particle?
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
What is the wave particle of light?
photon
Wave and prticle duality of light?
That means that light is both things: a particle and a wave.
Who proposed the wave particle duality of nature?
Einstein. He stated that light acts as both a particle and a wave.

Does light behave as a wave or a particle in chemistry?
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.
Does light have more wave or particle properties?
Both. E = mc2(squared) wave is an energy form while m is mass (particle) einstein proved that light acts as wave and particle at the same time.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
A What are fact about light?
it has the properties of a wave and a particle
How does the speed of a photon compare with the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
Light can be considered as a wave, or as a particle. As a particle, the particles are called photons. As a wave, light is an electromagnetic wave. In either case, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 300,000 km/sec.
Why can't light be classified as a separate particle with wave and particle nature?
Not sure what you mean, as the photon is classified as a separate particle. Light, like electrons, sometimes displays particle characteristics and sometimes displays wave characteristics.
What are the nature of light?
Light acts like both a particle and a wave.
