Gribbin (1989: 218):
The best evidence for the wave nature of light comes from the way it can be made to "interfere" with itself, like the interference between two sets of ripples on a pond, producing patterns of shade and light that cannot be explained in any other way.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, the patterns of shade and light can be explained as the statistical distribution of instances (particles), consistent with the probabilities of the system potential (waves). Probability is a quantification of potential; frequency is a quantification of instances. Frequencies are instances of probabilities.
This same statistical distribution occurs even when it is built up one particle (instance) at a time.
