What are parts of an electromagnetic wave?
Electric field and magnetic field
Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.
When electric and magnetic fields both exist it is called an?
Not really. You could have both an electric field and a magnetic field occupying the same space at the same time but they wouldn't 'make the definition' of electromagnetic until they began to fluxuate in phase at a harmonized frequency.
Can an electric current generate an electromagnetic wave?
Not a constant electric current but a changing one will generate electromagnetic waves.First: If you have a lone electron, and it is accelerated in any way, it will send off an electromagnetic wave. This is because a changing electric field generates a magnetic field.It is also true that changing magnetic field will generate an electric field. This is the reason that if you have an electric current, which is generating a magnetic field, and you change the current you generate an electromagnetic wave. To generate a continuous sinusoidal electromagnetic wave you continuously change the current sinusoidally.
Why is magnetic field used to deflect electron beam and not an electric field in a television picture tube?
if electric field is used then we have to apply a very high voltage ,or we may require a very long tube.however ,if a magnetic field is used ,even a small field can produce large deflection ,on the other hand ,the required size of the picture tube will be highly reduced .due to this reason,the magnetic field is uesd to deflect the electron beam in T.V. insted of the electric field.

What does electromagnetic waves means?
An electromagnetic wave, in its simplest description, is a wave that as it propagates keeps converting its magnetic field into an electric field while converting its electric field into a magnetic field.
Why is light in the electromagnetic spectrum Is light a type of electromagnetic radiation But how does that work Light is not magnetic or is it?
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by eye, and we call that bit "light". The thing about electromagnetic radiation is that a varying magnetic field causes a (varying) electric field (that's how power stations make electric current) and a varying electric field causes a (varying) magnetic field. So electromagnetic radiation is what you get when a varying electric field creates a varying magnetic field which in turn contributes the varying electric field. The whole thing then appears as bundled varying electric and magnetic field wave system which propagates at the velocity of light, That is why it is called electromagnetic. There are no magnetic poles or electric charges in it, and it can travel through a vacuum.
Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.
What type of field would deflect alpha and beta particles?
A magnetic field would deflect both alpha and beta particles, as would a charged electric field.
What electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse (unpolarized or polarized) or circularly polarized waves that have some electrical properties and some magnetic properties. An electromagnetic wave consists of changing electric and magnetic fields. The repeated cyclic transfer of energy from the electric field (weakening it) to the magnetic field (strengthening it) until the electric field is gone, then from the magnetic field (weakening it) to the electric field (strengthening it) until the magnetic field is gone every cycle is the process by which electromagnetic waves propagate without requiring a medium (and is described in Maxwell's Equations).
What is in a vibrating electric and a magnetic field?
they both have a Electromagnetic wave.
What are electromagnetic oscillators?
when a charge oscillates for example in a capacitor it produce an electric field; which in turns produce a magnetic field in an inductance. the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field and an electromagnetic waves perpendicular to both is produced.
When and magnetic fields both exist it is called an electric magnetic field?
electromagnetic
What ionizing radiation is not affected by an electric field?
No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.

Why an electromagnetic wave is able to produce both an electric field and a magnetic field because?
The question founders on the rocks of a chicken/egg conundrum. The presence of both an electric field and a magnetic field is required in order to produce an electromagnetic wave.
