Thanks for your responses. I'm going to study waves to see how these things are possible.

I've been thinking about the common properties between waves of electromagnetic radiation and waves of macroscopic things like water... eg. we understand them in terms of wavelength and frequency. Isn't that a pretty big coincidence? Why is this so? And is this actually so? For example, have we actually unified any of the equations or is it just convenient to use the word wave? First post be gentle.
