Light demonstrates wave characteristics when it is?
... monitored with a detector designed to detect wave characteristics. When monitored with a detector designed to detect particle characteristics, light demonstrates those too.
Who proved that light has wave characteristics?
Thomas Young
What characteristics or property proves that light is transverse wave?
Reflective Polarization from a surface.
Light has characteristics of both waves and?
a wave model of light.
What are the dual characteristics of light?
The particle (photon) and wave (wavelength) characteristics of light. E =hf = zQ2c/w where Q is the photon charge and w is the wavelength. One problem with the above answer: the charge of a photon is zero. E(photon) = hf where 'h' is Planck's Constant and 'f' is the frequency of the vibrations of light. hf = hc/w where 'c' is the speed of light and 'w' is the wavelength of the light. The more correct answer on "What are the dual characteristics of light" is that light will sometimes act like a wave and sometimes act like a particle -- and what it acts like depends on what experiment you are performing.

Does light behave primarily as a wave or as a particle when it interacts with a detector?
-- If the detector is designed to detect wave characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a wave when it encounters that detector. -- If the detector is designed to detect particle characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a particle when it encounters that detector.
Who proved that light has wave characteristics?
Thomas Young
What causes a light to go from being a particle to a wave?
Light doesn't change from one to the other. It's both all the time. If you design an experiment that reveals wave characteristics, light delivers them, and if you design an experiment that reveals particle characteristics, light delivers them too. If anyone asks "Is light a wave or a particle ?", the best answer is "Yes".
How does speed light travel?
Light travels at 299,792,458 m/s as both a wave and a particle. Light demonstrates aspects of both. It does not require any sort of medium to travel.
What characteristics or property proves that light is transverse wave?
Reflective Polarization from a surface.
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.
Light has characteristics of both waves and?
a wave model of light.
Definition of sine wave?
A sine wave is the graph of y = sin(x). It demonstrates to cyclic nature of the sine function.

What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
What characteristics of the electromagnetic waves predicted by maxwells theory led him to suggest that light might be electromagnetic wave?
The speed calculated for such waves, which happened to be precisely the speed of light.
