So you mean to say... it's the intensity of electric and magnetic fields that change with respect to time, and the 'wave' thing is a just a visual representation (Field Intensity Vs Time Curve)

I have a real confusion in understanding what they mean by wave nature of light. I have seen waves in amplitutde Vs time curves, ripples in ponds or the wave generated in a rope by shaking one of its end. How do I Imagine the motion of light in space? Does the amplitude/Intensity of the...
