You would think that before a scientific discipline embraced a
particular interpretation it would have a
thorough understanding of the nature of the particular phenomena. But,
physicists are not like 'real'
scientist. Their obsession with measurements and mathematics takes
precedence. For them, if it can't be
measured and expressed with mathematics then it's not worthy of
consideration. For physics, light is
both a measurable wavelength and a measurable ball like thing called a
photon particle at the same time..
They embrace what they call the wave/particle dual nature of light.
Now, in the real Universe something
either is or is not a particular thing at a particular time. It can
not be two different things at the same
time. I have changed my mind a couple of times, but I now see light
(I've seen the light) as a unit of
emission that is more or less spread out and also a photon. The rate
of emission is what is called its
frequency, the extent to which it's spread out is called its
wavelength. So, within impacting emission
light can be a ball like thing called a photon while other emission is
not fused into being a photon and is
spread out. Light is both a photon and a wavelength. However, the
important point is that it's not the
same unit of light at the some time.
