Q: Because the fields that make up an electromagnetic wave are at right angles to each other and to the direction that the wave travels, an electromagnetic wave is considered what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

As you can see in Figure above , the electric and magnetic fields that make up an electromagnetic wave occur are at right angles to each other. Both fields are also at right angles to the direction that the wave travels. Therefore, an electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.

 Choices:

- insverse wave

- transverse wave

- stimulation wave

- transverse wave


A:
transverse wave
