Light has both wave and particle properties.

In some cases, the wave property is observable (Young's double slit experiment) and in other cases, the particle property is observable (photoelectric effect).

Is all light the same, or are there differences in its properties and characteristics?

Light is not all the same; there are differences in its properties and characteristics.


Is light a wave, and if so, what are the properties and characteristics that define it as such?

Yes, light is a wave. It exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, which are characteristics of wave behavior. These properties help define light as a wave phenomenon.


How is light a wave and what are its properties that make it behave like one?

Light is a wave because it exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization. These properties show that light can exhibit wave-like behavior, such as bending around obstacles and combining to create patterns of light and dark.


Does light have energy and how is it related to its properties and behavior?

Yes, light does have energy. The energy of light is related to its properties and behavior through concepts such as wavelength, frequency, and intensity. These properties determine how light interacts with matter, such as being absorbed, reflected, or refracted. The behavior of light, such as its speed and direction, is also influenced by its energy.


Which properties of light defines light as a wave?

It can be reflected, refracted and polarised. It also shows the phenomenon of interference. (Young's double slit experiment) The above are the properties of waves. Light shows these properties and thus, this defines light as a wave.
