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?

no. the photons are moving in a spiral, not blinking in and out of existence.

But even if they were its “flickering” at a minimum of 430 terahertz. Your eye cant tell if something is flickering faster than 90 hertz or so (maybe as high as 500 hertz). so you wouldnt notice
