Question

which aspect os light is more prominenet? particle or wave

Answer 1

wave

Answer 2

i think

Answer 3

Actually, it's both. In some experiments, you can interpret light as a beam of particles to explain the results (eg, when studying mirrors or lenses). In others, regarding difraction for example you cannot. Picture light as little balls going through a slot, under certain conditions this balls will appear in places that you wouldn't expect. Try using a laser and thin slot to see a difraction patern and you'll get the idea.

Answer 4

It's called duality. No one ever saw a light particle but some experiments prove it acts like a particle, other prove it acts like a wave (both very interesting experiments, great read).

Answer 5

Like Marianne said, it is both. If this question relates to a specific experiment then the answer depends on the perameters of that experiment. A difraction expirament will show that light is clearly a wave, while low-energy packet emmisions will show that it is clearly a particle.

Answer 6

it largely depends on what experiment you are using to determine it.

Answer 7

thnx to all of u

Answer 8

Its probably neither. We like to throw things in with previous groups but the fact is light is really different from anything else.

Answer 9

exactly u r rite...

Answer 10

wave...thats it
