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? | |
