Re: Light as a particle in a wave?

For what it's worth, I'd say that light is a wave which displays some
particle-like characteristics, whereas for a "particle in a wave", that
is probably much closer to the mark for massive particles, like
electrons.

Just my non-standard two cents.

People who know a good deal of physics will do that, but you'll have to
come, not even half, not one quarter... no, not even a thin dime!
You'll have to come at least a _nickel_ worth of the way, and show
you've done something to try to understand some equation somewhere.
Nothing earns nothing.

(Naturally if you put somewhat more in the pot you'll increase your
returns further.)
