You say that light is an oscillation of this motional energy. How do you explain the polarisation of light and its transverse wave characteristics?
Transverse waves have their oscillatory motion at rightangles to the direction of the expanding wave front. Drop a pebble in a pond and there you have it, the transverse wave propagates outwards in an expanding circular direction. However, you can’t have a transverse wave expanding outwards adopting a spherical geometry. In other words, you can’t have an omnidirectional transverse wave because you run out of dimensions to accommodate the rightangle oscillations. That’s why it is impossible to visualise it, if you have ever tried. In an attempt to illustrate a transverse wave it is commonly suggested to get a length of string held fast at one end then wave it up and down to show the transverse wave shape. Adding a bit of 3d to it you can move your hand in a circular motion and you will have a 3 dimensional transverse wave which gives a possible clue to the true nature of light. Take one hydrogen atom and excite it just long enough to produce one photon. I suggest you will not see a flas
