I know this has been discussed to death and I acknowledge the fact that there truly is no conclusive answer. However, I have to do my best to outline that light is indeed a particle through its properties of reflection. So far, I've simply come up with the fact that laws of reflection follows laws of motion. Any help regarding other sources of light behaving as a partcle through reflection is appreciated. Also, what properties or experiments decidely supports the corpuscular theory (I know only about Photoelectric Effect). Furthermore, how does light behave as a wave through the following: Propagation, Refraction, Partial Reflection/Partial Refraction, Diffraction and Dispersion.

 

Thanks.

hm... smells like homework to me.

 

Basically, the "laws" that govern reflection are that, on a reflective, smooth surface, the angle of incidence (incoming angle of light) will be equal to the angle of the light as its reflected... which is pretty common sense.

 

Also, for the other properties of light, read about De young's double slit experiment.

Somewhat homework...not work to be handed in but debated in class against the wave theory. I was designated on proving light as a particle during reflection. Thanks for your help.
