| Mar 9, 2018 at 17:26 | comment | added | The Photon | The definition of the electric field is "a field describing the force that a charged particle would experience due to electrical interactions at each point in space" (to be more comprehensive we should talk about the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic interactions). A sinusoidal wave is one particular behavior we can see in the electric field, but it is not the definition of the electric field. Whether the prefactor in the formula for a sinusoidal wave is called "A" or "E" has no bearing on the actual physics. | |
