Question

Electromagnetic waves are _____ waves

Answer 1

1. Transverse waves are those waves in which particles of the material medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
2. Electromagnetic waves are created between an electric field and a magnetic field due to vibrations.
3. Based on the perpendicular movement of the medium particles to the direction of propagation of the wave, electromagnetic waves are classified as transverse waves

Hence, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
