Interference effects.
One evidence for the wave model of light is interference, where light waves can combine constructively or destructively to form patterns of bright and dark regions. Another evidence is diffraction, where light waves bend around obstacles or openings. Lastly, the polarization of light can also be explained by the wave model, as it describes how light waves vibrate in a specific plane.
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.
Light can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, known as wave-particle duality. In the wave theory of light, light is considered an electromagnetic wave that can propagate through a vacuum without a medium. This is supported by experimental evidence such as the double-slit experiment and interference patterns.
Thomas Young was the first person to offer evidence that light was a wave through his famous double-slit experiment in 1801. This experiment demonstrated light's wave-like behavior through interference patterns.
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.

No. Wave properties of light and electrons are well supported by experimental evidence.

Thomas Young first provided experimental evidence supporting the wave theory of light in the early 19th century with his double-slit experiment. This work laid the foundation for the wave-particle duality of light.
Light exhibits characteristics of both a wave and a particle. Its behavior can be accurately described by wave-like properties such as interference and diffraction, as well as particle-like properties such as energy quantization and momentum. This duality is captured in the wave-particle duality of light, which is a fundamental concept in quantum physics.
The evidence supporting this idea is based on the phenomenon of light dispersion, where a prism separates white light into its different colors. Each color is associated with a specific wavelength, as shown in the rainbow. Additionally, the concept is further supported by experiments such as the double-slit experiment, which demonstrates the wave nature of light by showing interference patterns that are characteristic of waves with specific wavelengths.
One piece of evidence supporting the wave model of light is interference patterns observed in double-slit experiments, where light waves exhibit interference behavior. One piece of evidence supporting the particle model of light is the photoelectric effect, where light behaves as discrete particles (photons) interacting with matter to eject electrons.
