Is light a wave or particle?
This question is one that confused the greatest minds of modern physics& lead to discussions & debates between scientists which is going on even now.
This question is a little tricky.
This question is one that confused the greatest minds of modern physics& lead to discussions & debates between scientists which is going on even now.
Some scientists like Newton suggested that it was wave while others considered it as a particle.
Wave form of light is explained as the interaction of electrical & magnetic waves & is hence known as an electromagnetic wave.The particle form of light is known as photon & is originally packets of wave energy.
It is now found that, the form at which light appears is relative to the observer.There for modern physics consider it as a
"WAVE-PARTICLE".
