Light as a wave
2
Light behaves as both a wave and particle.
Wave–particle duality is the idea that light behaves not only like particles, but also waves. As Einstein wrote: "It seems as though we must use sometimes the one theory and sometimes the other. We are faced with a new kind of difficulty. We have two opposite pictures of reality; separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light, but together they do". Light behaves as both a wave and particle.

Reflection of Light Waves
All waves are known to undergo reflection or the bouncing off of an obstacle. Reflection of Light Waves
