From my physics textbook:
> […], consider modulating (modifying) the wave by chopping off some of the wave crests. Suppose each crest represents a binary digit, with a chopped-off crest representing a zero and an unmodified crest representing a one.
So light is a wave and they can modify the way so that there is a binary signal.
