Light also acts like a particle : the
“Photon”
When detectors (or atoms) “see” light, it arrives in
discreet packages, which we call “photons”. You can think of each
photon as having a wavelength. The energy of a photon depends on its
wavelength or frequency: E ~ f ~
c / l .
As a whole, the photons have the statistical behavior
of waves of that wavelength. They experience “interference” like waves.
