The statement that best describes how today’s scientific community views light is "Light behaves like both waves and particles."
Light comes from the Sun. Light travels at 186 miles per second. The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 93 million miles. So energy travels in waves of light scientists called electromagnetic energy, that is vibrating patterns of electricity and magnetism. It was Isaac Newton that said that light was a particle, but Christian Huygens said that it was a wave. But today’s scientific community views light is that light behaves like both waves and particles.
