I am currently studying AS level physics and we have just started the waves module.
When describing light as a WAVE our teacher is telling us that particles are oscillating 90 degrees to the propagation of the wave.
What is acting at right angles to the propagation of the wave? As far as i was aware the amplitude of the wave was the strength of the electric and magnetic field and 45 degrees to each other?
