The electric and magnetic fields that make up electric magnetic waves are perpendicular (right angles) to each other both fields are perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels therefore an electric magnetic wave is a transverse wave

Answer:

the electric and magnetic fields that make up an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular (at right angles) to each other. Both fields are also perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels. Therefore, an electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.
