Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When light travels from one place to another, it displays wave-like behavior such as diffraction, interference and polarization. This is evident in phenomena like the double-slit experiment and the formation of interference patterns in Young's experiment. However, when light interacts with matter, it also displays particle-like behavior as described by the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering.
