    Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

    Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

    Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

    The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.
