wave-particle duality

Question

Light exhibits wave and particle nature evidenced by respectively:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

1. **Wave Nature**: Phenomena like **Interference**, **Diffraction**, and **Polarization** can only be explained by treating light as a continuous electromagnetic wave.
2. **Particle Nature**: Phenomena like the **Photoelectric Effect** and **Compton Scattering** can only be explained by treating light as consisting of discrete packets of energy called photons.
Wave-Particle Duality states that light behaves as either a wave or a particle depending on the experiment performed.
