Which of the following is the best characterization of the nature of light? a. light exhibits wave and particle properties. b. light exhibits photon properties only. c. light exhibits wave properties only. d. light exhibits particle properties only.

A.  Light exhibits wave and particle properties.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that light has been considered as a particle but behaves mainly like a wave due to its oscillating movements. In addition, it can also be considered to consist of tiny particles of energy called photons which contain a specific amount of energy but are massless so they move around based on the movement.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
