Light exhibits both wave and particle behaviors depending on the method of observation.
Multiple studies support the principle of wave-particle duality, confirming that the method of observation determines whether light manifests wave-like or particle-like characteristics.
The retrieved literature consistently supports Bohr's complementarity principle and wave-particle duality, showing that measurement choices and which-path detection govern whether wave or particle behaviors are observed.

Paper 6 discusses the duality principle in quantum mechanics, wherein simultaneous observation of wave and particle behavior is restricted based on experimental setup.
