Regarding the picture text

Regarding the picture text that says "The real part of a plane wave travelling up.", does that mean that the real part a plane wave is travelling up, or that the plane wave itself is travelling up and that it's real part is shown?

Yes to both. Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 02:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the definition ==

I am highly suprised that a plane wave needs to be monochromatic! A plane wave is a wave with a PLANE wavefront, hence the name. Guy Drijkoningen (TUD)
