Explain the dual behavior of electromagnetic radiation.
(N/A) Electromagnetic radiation exhibits dual behavior,meaning it possesses both wave-like and particle-like properties.
$1$. Wave-like nature: This is supported by phenomena such as interference and diffraction.
$2$. Particle-like nature: This is supported by phenomena such as black body radiation and the photoelectric effect.
Thus,light behaves as a wave in some contexts and as a stream of particles (photons) in others.
