I have studied the dual nature of the light as particle nature & wave nature.
A photon of light energy can knock a single electron out of certain metals (usually having less forbidden-energy-gap) called photo-electric emission which shows particle nature of light.
While the phenomenon of Interference (which may be constructive or destructive depending on the wave equations) shows the wave nature of light.
The question is: Do all the electromagnetic radiations show dual nature same as that of light if "yes" then explain how? & if "no" then explain why?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, everything shows wave-particle duality to varying degrees because "wave-particle duality" is just a name for a certain behaviour of quantum objects, and everything is believed to be a quantum object.
In particular, all electromagnetic radiation can be conceived of as being made of photons, which exhibit particle- and wave-like properties.
