Feb 2, 2015 at 4:11 comment added oink The oscillations are so rapid that even the individual electrons are just jerked around a bit. If it's jerked around enough the electron jumps up an energy level and negates the energy in the oscillation... leading to electron excitation, yay! (I think this explanation is flawed, though, because what if you have an awfully long wavelength, one that has a human-scale frequency?)
