It has some properties that are the same as traditional particles. We don't really know what to call light. It has a frequency, it has a wavelength, it oscillates. In a traditional wave, more energy should result in a larger amplitude. Unlike standard waves, more light energy does not mean a stronger wave.
More energy means more individual wave packets.
Unlike standard waves, light waves carry momentum as well as energy. Also, light does not need a medium to carry it. Sound waves need air to carry it. Water waves need the surface of water. Like particles, light can pass through a vacuum.
