Is Light a Particle or a Wave
View full lesson. Every kind of waves have their own wave crests as their wavs particles with its own cohesive and transition natures. Light Behaves As Both Particles And Waves At The Same Time And Scientists Have Been Able To Observe This Duality In Actio Waves Light Wave Physics Experiments New paradigms of thinking such as relativity and quantum mechanics emerged. . Thats what particles do. The waves unlike the fields and the radiations is the compound structure with the quantums of particles complex functions. No matter how hard scientists try light will simply change its behaviour. Now photoelectric effect cant be explained by the wave nature of light but by particle nature. Historically up until the mid-1800s the generally accepted theory with regard to light was known as the particle picture. This interference pattern was the evidence Young needed to determine that light was a wave and not a particle as Newton had s...
