What is light?

What is light? Is it a particle, wave, or both? Define the wave properties: period, wavelength, amplitude and frequency. What is c? How does c relate to wavelength and frequency?
Light  is a natural agent that makes things visible. It is a range of electromagnetic radiations. These radiations consist of both particles and waves.

Amplitude is the brightness of a light, wavelength means the color of light, A period is the number of seconds needed for a wave to repeat itself at any given point and frequency means the numbers of vibration per second.

The product of wavelength and the frequency gives the velocity of light which is represented by “C”
