Is all light flickering?

If visible light is a wave, does that mean that in between the peaks of the wave there are periods of darkness? Can we see them?

The presence of a field alone is not “light”. The field comes and goes. A static electric field is not light, and will not travel or activate a light sensor. The light is the sustained wave process, there is no “light” without the presence of the whole ongoing wave.
