Jan 13 at 0:39 comment added PhysicsDave Light exists in the EM field ... a good model is that a photon is a concentrated (or localized) wave in the EM field. When an atom gets the energy from the photon it acted in a very small location so we say it acted light a particle. When light is diffracted, it shows its wave nature. Light it NOT one thing or another it just can show its unique properties, it always has both properties.

Jan 12 at 11:19 comment added Solomon Slow The nature of light has not changed. It still behaves in particle-like ways in some experiments, and it still behaves in wave-like ways in others. What is this "determination" that you are waiting for? Do you expect light to stop behaving in one way or the other?
