a charged particle can be accelerated in many ways. an
electromagnetic field or wave can not be accelerated, it travels at c
in the medium it is in no matter what you do to it.

What do you use to push it?

can you measure the distortion of a particle? that would be
interesting to see. as above, you can't push a field or wave.

Does a receiver catch it without distorting it?

only if you don't exceed it's dynamic range.

Can you put the charge,field or wave into a speaker to listen to at a
later time?

only if you don't violate it's copyright.

Can you re arrange them and send them back at a later time?

sure, that is what mirrors do. the image that you see of yourself is
delayed by the time it takes light to travel from your fact to it and
back, and is then reversed in the process.

How many charges make up a wave?

none.

How many waves fit into a field?

none, fields make up waves... much like those amber waves of grain in
the field.

Can a field of waves support an oil slick?

no, but an ocean wave can swamp a field hand.
