Abstract
We find a class of exact axially symmetric wave solutions of the Yang-Mills equations with SU(2) symmetry. The solutions in this class describe running waves propagating at the speed of light in a vacuum and contain two arbitrary differentiable functions of their phase. We consider properties of field sources that can generate such running waves.
