Two dimensional pictures showing movement of field objects.
    A SIMPLE WAVE MOVING HORIZONTALLY THROUGH PARALLEL FIELD
  Press u to see the movement of simple wave through the field.  Action starts after ten seconds.
    What you are seeing is a simple wave in two-dimensions moving through the field.  The field itself is three-dimensional.  The field is infinite in its espanse, extending everywhere in all directions.
    The wave is not a surface as shown, but energy deforming the surface, causing it to bend.  Our image of this wave energy is the bulging we see of the surface.
    It is the same as seeing the wind blowing trees.  We can't see the wind, but we can see what it does.  Following are the many images relating to this wave energy to help you better imagine it.  For more advanced discussions about this wave energy, click here.
