yes? no? anyone?

ok, so what i got from that, and please correct me if I'm wrong. light travels as a wave until it serendipitously reaches it's ultimate destination (for reasons not well understood), at which point, it is now a photon particle? while the wave exists, we do not perceive them in our everyday lives...

awesome... third question in, but I'm still somewhat confused... Unlike classical physics, quantum mechanics does not need to switch gears to describe the wave-like and particle-like observations. This is all accomplished by one consistent theory. keeping in mind, my extent of knowledge...

sorry... it's my first day es mi dío primero quack quack quack but as per your reply, I'm a biochem major and what you said makes absolutely no sense to me. i'll read the FAQs though...

here's one for the physics buffs... at the first stage of the perception of light, a photon(s) bleaches/is absorbed by rhodopsin in the retina, breaks apart and an intercellular cascade occurs. a photon is an individual particle, right? so when we perceive light, can we only perceive it as a...
