The DC offset does not manifest when the waveform is translated into sound, which is an actual propagating wave, the appropriate analogy to light.

- phonethrowaway 6y agoparticle/wave duality. it means neither fully encapsulates "light".
- sharpneli 6y agoAlmost but not quite. With light the electric field can go negative and the average is generally 0. With sound in air the pressure component has a ”DC” offset of 1bar and it cannot go negative, you will just get nonlinear effects when you start nearing that limit.
