Question
how do the magnetic and electrical components of electromagnetic waves travel in relation to each other?
o at right angles
o toward each other
o in a circular motion
o parallel to each other
Electromagnetic waves consist of electric and magnetic fields. These fields are perpendicular (at right angles) to each other. This is a fundamental property of electromagnetic waves. For example, in a simple electromagnetic wave model, if the electric field is oscillating in one plane, the magnetic field oscillates in a plane perpendicular to it.
