What is Light?


Light can be thought as a wave and as a particle: this is known in physics as the Wave-Particle Duality.

Light has a dual nature; in some cases it behaves as a wave, and in other cases it behaves as a particle.
The name of the particle associated to light is called a photon.


The electron, for instance, exhibits a wave-particle duality too.
