An electromagnetic wave.
-
It's an electromagnetic wave. Okay.
-
Now I've seen -- indeed it is --
-
I've seen waves on the ocean, right?
-
Does it mean that electromagnetic waves are like those waves?
-
In what way is an electromagnetic wave a wave?
-
What's wavy about it?
-
Well you can make a graph that's a wave, that involves light.
-
So here what we're going to plot is the force on a charge.
-
The charge is at a particular position.
-
We'll have the charge over there on the right;
-
it's fixed there, and we're going to measure the force on it
