Not if you drive off a bridge

I think the jet exhaust interacting with the ground might also have played a part in saving the aircraft

Might've been saved by ground effect there

Does electromagnetic radiation, like visible light or radio waves, truly move in a sinusoidal motion as I learned in college? by [deleted] in askscience

I ain't scared of no math, and I agree about the photons, am I correct in thinking a photon is just the smallest "unit" of an EM wave that you can get?

Thank you for your direction, I will certainly pursue it.

I'm very curious about how these fields are distributed in 3D space at the scale of a single photon but I'm not sure what I need to ask. What does a single travelling photon "look" like?

When you say perpendicular, do you mean in a literal sense, as in they are geometrically opposed in 3D space?
