In my poor knowledge, wave is created by a disturbance and meanwhile the particle just move upward or downward in a transverse wave . However , light seems a different one . It is move! can anyone explain it for me please?

A light wave is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light.
Light wave travels in a straight line at the speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. It can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, or through a medium, such as air or water.
The color of light is determined by its wavelength. Longer wavelengths correspond to red light, while shorter wavelengths correspond to blue light. The visible spectrum of light includes all the colors of the rainbow.
Light wave can interact with matter in three ways: reflection, refraction, and absorption. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, refraction occurs when light bends as it passes through a medium, and absorption occurs when light is absorbed by matter, converting into different forms of energy.
The speed of light wave can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through. In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed, but in a medium such as air or water, it travels at a slower speed due to interactions with particles in the medium. The speed of light can also be affected by the density and temperature of the medium.
