My phone has a flashlight that used for taking pictures and many other things. I downloaded an app to used the flashlight as a flashlight and I realized the shape of light it creates is a square. It's pretty nice because I've never seen a spot of square light produced by a flashlight. I checked the light itself and realized the LED is round but the reflector and lens is shaped like a square. It's interesting how the light just takes the shape of whatever it is reflected on. It reminds me of how water always takes the shape of the container it is in. This proves to me that light is also a particle.
Hey Marvin, That is really frickin' cool man! I've never seen a square light like that come from a phone. It's true that the reflector has a powerful effect on the way that the light acts. You are also very astute in your observation that this is a clear example of light acting as a particle. Awesome picture bro!
