Answer:

Light is an electromagnetic radiation. It has both particle and wave nature. As a wave, light has amplitude, wavelength and frequency. These factors define a wave. Also, light undergoes interference and diffraction which are wave phenomena. On the other hand, light some times behaves as a particle. It is composed of photons. Each photon is a quanta of energy. Photoelectric effect can be explained on the basis of particle behavior of light.

Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, in which electrical particles vibrate up and down.
