Ok I think I got it, but just to make sure: The wave itself is more of an "Area of Effect" mapping the highs and lows of the field, rather than being any physical track?

I meant, wave being the path of electrons/photons/(whatever particles E&M waves are made of) as they travel. I don't actually have any knowledge of this whatsoever so, sorry if it comes across confusing. Let me try again; in two space we have the sin x sin 2x sin 3x etc, but if I was traveling...

So I can't find this anywhere, but I would really like an answer as it's driving me up a wall; Are the amplitudes of all electromagnetic waves the same, and if so how are the speeds of the particles that move along the wave not > c? Thanks in advance.
