Well light is actually both particles and waves. :)
Here's something else fun and related..
The Spirit of God [hovering in that verse] is known as the soul of the Messiah (משיח mashiach = 358).
The 288 is the sum of the middle 3 letters of the hovering verb.
So to answer the question,
Wave or particle? (= 288)
Yes! (כן ken, = 70)
288 + 70 = 358
