Light is described as having a dual wave-particle nature. Which piece of evidence provides support for the model of light as a particle?
Question
Light is described as having a dual wave-particle nature. Which piece of evidence provides support for the model of light as a particle?
Young’s double slit experiment showed that light waves show interference.
Light reflects when it hits a surface.
Light refracts when it moves from one medium to another.
Light does not need a medium to travel.

Answer:
Hey
Your answer would be D (Light does not need a medium to travel.)
For a long time, people believed in what was called the aether. The aether was a medium in empty space which light would have traveled through. The reason why people thought this was that they didn’t think it was possible for a wave (light) to travel in empty space. Of course, now we know that light is unusual in the sense that it doesn’t require a medium because all other known types of waves do have mediums.
I wrote all that^, please read it if you want to know the reason why its d.
