I have been working on this problem for a while now, and it's supposed to be really simple, but I can't get the solution can you sort of guide me through this problem:

Problem: Which of the following terms best describes the nature of light from the modern point of view? Waves, rays, photons, or particles

Show how you get the solution, so that I can better understand how to do it. Thanks.
