Light is not a particle! It is a wave.
Here's my reasoning. Light has been proven to be an electomagnetic wave
in
some experiments. It responds to all of the operations done on it that
also
work for the lower frequencies of electromagnetic waves in the same
manner.
It also is capable of being polarized just like other electromagnetic
waves.
Now, the question is: How does it attain some of the actions of
particles?
Try that it is of such a high energy level that you start seeing the
effects
of the energy on things. Remember that E = MC^2? Way back when, it was
found that as the light from a star passes near the sun (optical path
guys!), it is bent a bit by the gravity of the Sun. This proves that
there
is mass to the star's light. I'll also note that we use electromagnetic
wave formulas for determining the intensity/distance of other stars rather
than some other formula.
You are not serious or you like to feed trolls, I'll assume the latter.
