Explanation Some experiments such as diffraction and polarisation show wave nature of light. These experiments cannot be explained particle nature of light. Some other experiments such as Compton Effect and photoelectric effect show particle nature of light. And these experiments are not possible to be understood taking wave nature of light into account...
