For light (electromagnetic radiation) it is the electric and magnetic fields which oscillate in strength and direction. At visible frequen ...

... An object decelerates if it slows down When two waves cancel out to give reduced amplitude The spreading out of a wave when it passes through a gap or around an edge. Maximum diffraction occurs when the gap width is equal in size to the wavelength of the wave. A signal which is either “on” or “off” ...
