Dual Nature of Light
Light is a special kind of energy because it behaves in two different ways—it acts like a wave and also like a particle. This is known as the dual nature of light. Scientists discovered that sometimes light moves in waves, like ripples on water, and at other times, it behave...

Light is all around us, but did you know it behaves like both a wave and a particle?
Scientists call this surprising behavior the “dual nature of light.”
When light travels through space, it moves in waves, like ripples in water.
These waves carry energy, and the frequency of the wave tells us how much energy it has.
