Lamp light, sunlight, flashlight light. When I ask what is light made out of? Of course I get - energy. But also sine, wave, etc. Can someone put it in SIMPLER english? Is light atoms that have no mass? I mean, it has to be made of SOMETHING.
Light is composed of photons both acting as a particle and a wave.
thetermi..., prisms. Everything goes through a prism.
Light behaves like a wave. To say light exists as quanta or as photons, is to say that light is made of particles, like grains of sand. When light is seen as a wave, it seems capable of being in 2 or more places at the same time. When we catch it on film, like a picture, it shows up spot by spot, like a beam of particles. Light must be both: wave and particle. The dual nature of light is a paradox.
