View submission: Two questions about light waves

The form of the light waves depends on the motion of the charged particles that generates them. If it's a regular/orderly motion, the light waves will be clean/sinusoidal. Else they'd be messy.

I highly recommend you watch this[1] if you're interested, it simulates the propagation of waves in the EM field with beautiful animations.
