Um, sooo, light is NOT a field after all?

I understand light to be either a wave or a particle, but not a “field”.

Or at least never heard it described using that word.

My third grade teacher, Mrs. Bullion, told us in 1968 that light was made of particles and waves at the same time.

What else is new?
