Is Jesus Christ, son of man or son of God? Jesus is both a man and God at the same time, explained this by saying that He is the light of this world. The light has dual nature showing the dual nature of Christ.
"Is light a wave or a stream of particles?" Physicists have taken up each side of the argument, providing a wealth of evidence for each side. Wave–particle duality is the fact that every elementary particle exhibits the properties of not only particles but also waves. The dual nature of electromagnetic waves is that they can behave as a wave and as a particle (a photon). The fact is that light exhibits behaviors that are characteristic of both waves and particles. Light exhibits certain behaviors that are characteristic of any wave and would be difficult to explain with a purely particle-view. As a wave, when light travels from a vacuum into a medium, the medium causes the light to travel slower (c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum). The slower speed causes the light to bend, or refract, as it enters the medium. Light reflects in the same manner that any wave would reflect. Light diffracts in the same manner that any wave would diffract. Light undergoes interference in the same manner that any wave would interfere. In addition, light exhibits the Doppler Effect just as any wave would exhibit the Doppler Effect. Light behaves in a way that is consistent with nature of waves.
An example of light acting on a particle is the photoelectric effect. When photons hit on a metal plate, electrons will be released from the metal plate, if the photon transfers the right amount of energy. Light is made up of particles called photons, and photons have no mass, so they have no weight. However, a strong gravitational field can bend light and that sounds like they do have mass.
