Light behavior

Light behaves both as a wave and a particle, which explains many phenomena. As a wave, it can reflect, bend, and interfere, creating effects like rainbows and mirages. As a particle, called photons, it can be absorbed or emitted by objects, allowing us to see and detect things. Light travels in straight lines but can change direction when passing through different materials or around obstacles. It moves incredibly fast, about 186,000 miles per second. These behaviors help us understand how we see, how optical devices work, and how energy and information are transferred through light.
