Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electromagnetic radiation can behave both as a wave and as a particle, known as wave-particle duality. This is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. Electromagnetic radiation can behave both as a wave (with properties such as wavelength and frequency) and as a particle (called a photon). This is known as wave-particle duality.
