Re: wave properties of light
I think you're referring to the experiment that showed diffraction patterns, that light can act like a wave by constructive and deconstructive interference.

Re: wave properties of light
In Professor Lavelle's review powerpoint, there is a question asking about the experiment that supports de Broglie's hypothesis of the wave nature of matter, which is the electron diffraction of a crystal. Is this what you're thinking of? Hope this helps, and good luck on the final!

Re: wave properties of light
The electron diffraction of the crystal show the wave properties of electrons. The diffraction was shown in the slit experiment when the waves interfered with each other resulting in the light emission not hitting the other side exactly where the slits were, as expected if it were in the particle model.
