Here's a simplified explanation:
* Wave-like behavior: Light demonstrates wave-like properties like interference and diffraction, which means it can bend around obstacles and spread out.
* Particle-like behavior: Light also exhibits particle-like properties, such as the photoelectric effect, where light interacts with matter as if it were composed of discrete packets of energy called photons.
The wave-particle duality of light is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic level.
