Thanks it makes a lot more sense now!

Light waves represented by coils are a visual representation of the electromagnetic waves that make up visible light. They are depicted as a series of coils that represent the oscillating electric and magnetic fields of the wave.
Light waves represented by coils are used in science to help explain and understand the properties of light. They can be used to demonstrate the wavelength, frequency, and direction of light waves and how they interact with different materials.
Light waves represented by coils cannot be seen in real life as they are simply a visual representation of the invisible electromagnetic waves that make up light. However, scientists use special equipment and techniques to capture images of these waves in order to study and understand them.
Unlike other wave representations, such as sine waves or transverse waves, light waves represented by coils are specifically used to depict electromagnetic waves. They are also unique in that they show both the electric and magnetic components of the wave, whereas other representations may only show one or the other.
The use of coils to represent light waves helps to demonstrate the wave-like nature of light and how it is a form of energy that travels through space. It also allows for the visualization of the different properties and behaviors of light waves, such as wavelength, frequency, and polarization.
