What we know is that light can act as a particle, and a wave as well.
A particle is a very tiny object which cannot be broken into smaller parts, cannot be created or destroyed.
A wave is a periodic oscillation of a particle of the medium.
Somehow light acts like both particle and wave at the same time.
Here are some HYPOTHESIS given by Xr.Shim:
HYPOTHESIS 1 : the Twin Photons
There are 2 types of photons, one that act like particles and one that acts like waves.
During Eistein's Experiment, the photons which acts like particles knocks out the electrons, the photons acts like waves are ignored.
During the double slit experiment, photons which acts like waves create the interference patterns, the photons which acts like particles are ignored.
HYPOTHESIS 2 : the Fabric
There is a "fabric" which is not detected yet, photons can interact with this Fabric, like a bunch of plastic balls and a blanket.
A light source can emit photons and vibrates the fabric at the same time, this will group the photons into smaller groups, the photons provide the properties of a particle, the fabric carrying the photons provides the properties of a wave.
As the travel distance gets longer and longer, the "concentration" of the photons gets lower and lower, the brightness is decreasing.
"Stronger" light source can cause the Fabric to have a longer Amplitude, containing more photons in a "Valley"
Please share your guess with us, we would like to hear from you at the comment section. Perhaps we can discover and understand something so normal in a complicated way.
