Two students, Jordan and Taylor, are talking about light. Jordan says that light behaves as a stream of particles. Taylor declares that light behaves as a wave. Which student is correct? Both students are correct. When light is traveling through small openings, solids, liquids, gases, or a vacuum, it behaves like a wave. When it interacts with matter, it acts like a stream of particles.

Jordan is correct. Light behaves like a stream of particles as it moves through openings, various mediums, and as it interacts with matter.

Taylor is correct. Light behaves as a wave as it bends through openings, moves through various mediums, and as it interacts with matter.
