Google for "wave nature of light" and "particle nature of light" and read what you find, and you'll be able to come back with a better formed question.
 
Electromagnetism
Photoelectric effect
Quantum mechanics
Special Relativity

Do you need explanations?
 
The debate on whether light is a particle or wave is long over. Modern theories don't distinguish between the two. Are you looking for a list of obsolete theories?
