It ACTS like straight line particles or a beam through a prism or when reflected.
It acts like a wave when reflected by a mirrored reflector.
Ask any Studio Photographer about light!
NO ONE KNOWS what it actually is --we only know how it reacts!

God said, I am the light.
Isn’t that amazing?
Light is energy. According to Physics, that is indeed the only thing that can create matter. Energy creates matter. I suppose the ancient people never knew that. Only a God can say something so insightful so many thousands of years ago when man does not even know how to send radio signals.
Light is a particle & a wave. Yet in order to be a wave, the ‘independent’ particles must move synchronously and in-line. This means that if each particle represents a spirit, then every spirit moves according to a certain fixed will. That of God.
If the particles are going haywire, then you do not have light, you have darkness because what you see does not get reflected from the object into your eyes in a straight line, it ‘dissipates’ and goes somewhere else such that you see nothing since none of the light gets correctly bounced off from the object back into your eyes to give you an informed idea of what that object is.
The bible is indeed amazing. Only a God can say something so insightful. Truly, the prophesies of the return of Israel and many other things prophesied that has come true testifies to the truth in the bible.
Dis-regard the bible at your own risk.

Light can act as both Particle and wave

Light consists of photons. A Photon is a mass of energy. Light form part of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, light travels in a range of frequencies. A particle frequency consists of some particular characteristics. e.g. at wavelength x the light rays are blue etc...
So, waves are movement of energy at a particular frequency. Take water waves for example, there is a flow of energy. So light is a wave were photons flows. According to me it is a wave.
Yet, photon is a kind of particle. But I'll rather consider photon as energy.

Its a wave of particles. That's why it bounces off of things.

As far as we know, it behaves like both.
And in actuality, we could predict that everything is both a particle and a wave (if it's traveling fast enough).
Cool, huh?

Both. Call it a wavicle if it pleases you.
The more technical answer is -- it depends on how you set up your experiment. If youset up your experiment one way, it shows up as a particle, but if you set it up a different way, it shows up as a wave.

it is both, depending on the situation u view them under
