There are several pieces of evidence for the wave nature of light, including interference patterns observed in double-slit experiments, diffraction patterns when light passes through small openings, and the fact that light can be polarized. These phenomena can only be explained by treating light as a wave with properties such as wavelength and frequency.

Proofs of the particle nature of light?

Albert Einstein's Photo-electric effect is one of the proof of the particle nature of light. The experiment on the wave particle duality is another proof pf the particle nature of light.


Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?

Light is transverse in nature.


What describes light travelling as wave?

What does not support the wave nature of light?

The photoelectric effect does not support the wave nature of light. This phenomenon can only be explained by the particle nature of light, as described by Albert Einstein in his theory of photons.

What property is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature?

The property of localized energy packets called photons is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature.


What are the nature of light?

Light acts like both a particle and a wave.


Why a light is sometimes described as a wave and sometimes as a particle. Give evidence to support the wave nature of light.?

Light is described as both a wave and a particle due to its dual nature under quantum theory. Evidence for the wave nature of light includes phenomena such as interference and diffraction, where light waves exhibit behaviors like interference patterns and bending around obstacles. The wave-particle duality of light is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics.

No.


What is the best characterization of nature of light?

Light exhibits wave and particle properties.


Is light considered a electromagnetic wave?

Light is said to be of dual nature so it has particle nature as well as wave nature but there is a difference in waves and electromagnetic waves. so ,as for your question "Is light a electromagnetic wave" the answer is "no"More precisely, if visible is not an electromagnetic wave, the NO part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be considered to be an electromagnetic wave. By any definition of the term, the answer is 'Yes'
