15. Which statement is not evidence for the wave-particle duality of light? Light travels at a constant speed in the vacuum of space. O Objects appear bent or broken when viewed through a glass of water. Electrons in specific locations around a nucleus emit specific wavelengths of light when they are excited. Electrons in gases can be excited with an electric current.
