Questions then arise. What is an electron? Is it a particle or a wave? And what is light? A wave or a photon? The answer to these is found in the statement of wave-particle duality:

one says that light exhibits a wave-particle duality: ... This wave-particle duality is the basis of the quantum theory of light, and has some profound physical and philosophical implications which are still being debated today.

In physics and chemistry, wave–particle duality is the concept that all energy (and thus all matter) exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. A central concept of quantum mechanics, dua...

A new model of particle scattering that challenges wave/particle duality ... On examination, the fundamental rationale for wave/particle duality lies in the assumption that the only possible mechanism for the observed phenomena is the wave propagation mechanisms of diffraction and interference.

We've seen what happens when we shine light through two slits, or when water waves do something similar. But what do you think happens when solid objects go through the slits? ... I don't get it. What do you mean by solid objects? Like rocks? Solid things don ... Let's forget about waves for a second and just keep it simple.

Sometimes light displays particle-like behavior, and sometimes it acts like a wave; it all depends on what sort of experiment you're doing. This is known as wave/particle duality, and, like it or not, physicists have just been forced to accept it.
