please, give the question properly.
Electromagnetic waves can travel in vaccum but mechanical wave does not
The organism may become ill or die
Evidence for the particle nature of light are not: 1. refraction, 2. many colors of light, 3. diffraction. These are all phenomenon that support wave theory of light. Evidence for particle nature of light is photoelectric effect. Because it was discovered that you need discrete energies of light to eject electrons from a metal surface and not continuous as the wave theory of light suggests.
