How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?

Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality. 
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. 
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.

Light doesn't need to decide. It simply behaves both ways at the same time.
If you create an experiment that can detect particles and run light through it, the experiment detects particles.
If you build an experiment that can detect waves and run light through it, the experiment detects waves.
Wierd but true.

Explanation:

English Translation

Indicate what a specific property of matter is. Also explain why the specific properties of matter are useful compared to the general ones.

Solution

The specific properties of matter are properties that describes the intensive properties of the system. They are properties that do not depend on or change with the extent or size of the system. They are usually obtained by dividing the generalised properties or extensive properties by the extent or size of matter to make them independent of size/extent/Mass.

Examples of specific properties include specific heat capacity, specific volume etc. They usually have units of general units/Mass units.

The specific properties of matter are more important than the general ones because

- They help in general comparisons of the properties of different materials. They are used to rank, classify and compare properties of different materials.

- They are used in reference table/data to easily record easily accessible properties of matter. It helps to record standards that are general and independent of sizes/extents/Mass, thereby keeping the reference table/data/chart precise and concise.

- They provide us with values that are easy to memorize and remember, unlike trying to cram the different properties of different masses/sizes of matter.

In Spanish/En español

Las propiedades específicas de la materia son propiedades que describen las propiedades intensivas del sistema. Son propiedades que no dependen ni cambian con la extensión o el tamaño del sistema. Por lo general, se obtienen dividiendo las propiedades generalizadas o las propiedades extensivas por la extensión o el tamaño de la materia para hacerlas independientes del tamaño / extensión / masa.

Los ejemplos de propiedades específicas incluyen capacidad calorífica específica, volumen específico, etc. Usualmente tienen unidades de unidades generales / unidades de masa.

Las propiedades específicas de la materia son más importantes que las generales porque

- Ayudan en las comparaciones generales de las propiedades de diferentes materiales. Se utilizan para clasificar, clasificar y comparar propiedades de diferentes materiales.

- Se utilizan en la tabla / datos de referencia para registrar fácilmente propiedades de materia fácilmente accesibles. Ayuda a registrar estándares que son generales e independientes de tamaños / extensiones / masa, manteniendo así la tabla / datos / tabla de referencia precisa y concisa.

- Nos proporcionan valores que son fáciles de memorizar y recordar, a diferencia de tratar de agrupar las diferentes propiedades de diferentes masas / tamaños de materia.

Hope this Helps!!!
