When electrical charges get accelerated then it produces a kind of disturbance both electrical and magnetic in two perpendicular directions varying sinusoidally with time. The electrical vector and magnetic vector both will be perpendicular to the direction in which disturbance is propagating. Hence the electromagnetic wave is termed as transverse wave.

What em waves are used in rainbows?

Rainbows are formed when sunlight, which is a combination of various electromagnetic (EM) waves, interacts with water droplets in the atmosphere. The sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed, resulting in the separation of different wavelengths of light, which correspond to different colors. The visible spectrum of light, ranging from red to violet, is what we see as a rainbow. Thus, the EM waves involved in the formation of rainbows primarily include visible light waves.
