"Light is neither a particle nor a wave. Instead it is a quantum field. As a general rule while light is traveling it appears as a wave, but when the light quantum field is exchanging energy with anything it does so in quanta that appear as particles i.e. photons.
You see because light excites electrons in rhodosin molecules in the cells in your retina. Since this is an energy exchange (from the quantum field to the rhodopsin molecule) the interaction looks like absorption of a photon."http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/46237/is-the-wave-particle-duality-a-real-duality
Ignore Luboš Motl and go down juanrga's answer.. It covers some details and easily for us laymen.
