It can be considered as a wave until it is measured or observed then becomes a particle. Interestingly enough becuse of the randomness of the particle it is also considered to be in every point in space and time until measured or observed, the double slit experiment proves this, you can use feynman equations to calculate this as well.

Wave to it, if it waves back it's a wave, if it doesn't then it's probably particle about who it waves to!

Doing the things a particle can

What's he like? It's not important

Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?

When he's underwater does he get wet?

Or does the water get him instead?

Nobody knows, Particle man

Light is photons that are particles. Light can come in waves but usually is a saturation at least for the average day on this planet from the sun you can experience radiation flares when the sun is positioned on the other side of the planet.

They're actually correct - in certain experiments, light behaves as if it's a particle but then in others, like it's a wave. We still don't know why and the doesn't seem to be any explanation for it.
