Wave-particle "duality" or sometimes light is called a "Wavicle"

Wavicle - which is either both particle and wave, or neither particle nor wave. The description 'like a vibration in a string of beads' is a good one.

i don't think of you could properly say that it fairly is the two. it could each and every each and every now and then be mentioned performing in strategies reminiscent of one or the different, yet it rather is not comparable element as asserting it rather is one or the different. there's a accepted decrease nevertheless, to how properly you could answer this question. it rather is possible to define the situations decrease than which mild will behave extra like a particle, or like a wave. although those situations are defined by and vast with the help of the act of watching the mild itself. this implies you could not, with the help of definition, quickly word mild as something yet a particle, wherein case it is going to reason consequences in keeping with what you may anticipate from a particle. yet you could word the outcomes it has whilst performing like a wave, as long as you do not look quickly through fact the mild itself. through fact of direction, in case you inspect the mild itself you will discover that it rather is a particle... and then its consequences should not be wavelike... the considerable element approximately this definition is that it does not say what the real nature of sunshine is, the two particle like or wave like, it basically defines the situations decrease than which we are able to anticipate to be certain it doing one or the different. it rather is held to be impossible, genuinely impossible, to computer screen its genuine nature, even though it is.

A more complete description of light requires two separate theories, the wave theory and the particle theory, each of which complements the other, hence the term is "complementarity"

It's THE DOUBLE TRUTH OF LIGHT
Light has both the properties of waves and particles and can travel through a vacuum.

Partical Wave Duality Model (I think).
