Why does light show the particle and wave both nature?
Does light always behave like a wave?
No, not always. Light can also exhibit its particle-like properties, known as photons. When light travels through a vacuum or material, it behaves as a particle, with each photon being a discrete 'chunk' of energy. This behavior is best illustrated in phenomena like the photoelectric effect, where photons hitting a metal surface release electrons.
