AI Thread Summary
Light is known to exhibit both wave and particle properties, commonly referred to as wave-particle duality. There is curiosity about whether light has other characteristics beyond these two. A physics teacher hinted at additional complexities regarding light, suggesting that students would learn more in future lessons. The double-slit experiment is often mentioned as a key example of light's wave-like behavior, highlighting its unusual nature. The discussion reflects a desire to explore the deeper aspects of light's behavior in physics.

So, I know light acts as a particle and as a wave, but I've also heard it acts as some other things as well and I was wondering if any of you guys knew what that was?

Now also I am not looking to start a debate as to whether it is a particle or a wave.

Some other thing? I've only heard of the wave-particle duality. Where did you hear this from?
 
My physics teacher, he told us about something else, when I asked him he just said to wait until we got to light, he would only tell me it was really weird.
 
I wonder if he's going to tell you about the double-slit experiment. (Well, that's covered under "acts like a wave" - but it is about as weird as it gets)
 
Well, maybe he knows something we don't ha.
