Photons are a type of subatomic particle. Photons behave like waves of electromagnetic radiation. Photons behave like waves of electromagnetic radiation.

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes photons is:

**Photons behave like particles of electromagnetic radiation.**

This statement captures the dual nature of photons—they exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, which is a key aspect of quantum mechanics.

If you are asked to choose one best answer, either of the following could be considered correct based on context:

1. "Photons behave like particles of electromagnetic radiation."
2. "Photons behave like waves of electromagnetic radiation."

Both of these statements reflect the wave-particle duality of photons.
