well it's very simple. It was first physically proven on a wide scale in the famous double split experiement which i'll inlcude a link to at the end. Basically if light were only particles when it was shown through two splits it would only go thorugh one. However the wave like properties of light would actually allow it to go through both and then interfere with one another something that can't be done with particles alone.

Light displays interference characteristics; for example if you look through a diffraction grating you will see rainbow fringes on all of the images. This is because of variable diffraction and interference, two wave properties the light is obviously displaying. However, at the same time the light can be conclusively tested to be a particle and not a wave.

Do you just want to know where to go find the thousands of papers on the light wave science, or are you disputing the fact that light travels in waves?

The double slit experiment proves that photons
travel in waves when un-observed and as particles
when being observed.

Light displays interference patterns which is primarily a wave characteristic.
