Waves are described in the two method: " More generally, the Stokes drift

for this drift in his 1847 study of water waves."

It is the photons that move at the speed of light.

Photons are the math joke.
Electric waves in a medium made of electrons move at the speed of light.

One thing I'm wondering. In your world, how does the energy jump from
electron to electron? And try to make some sort of sense for once.
Please.

They have the kinetic energy. "the energy jump from electron to electron"
by collisions.

It is a full analogy with the acoustic waves. Molecules are the medium for
acoustic and free electrpns for the electric waves.
