Light, a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
Electric and Magnetic currents travel from Positive to Negative. a batteries charge travels from the + end to the - end. and a Magnet travels from North to South.
An electromagnetic wave is a disturbance, which does not require any material medium for its propagation and can travel even through vacuum. They are caused due to varying electric and magnetic fields. Radio waves and light waves are examples for elect..These are waves that can pass through vacuum in addition to passing through matter. In other words, a material medium is not necessary for their propagation. They consist of periodic variations of electric and magnetic fields at right angles to each other and also at right angles

an Electromagnetic Wave
Yes
We understand that electromagnetic waves have both an electric and a magnetic component. Each component is a wave, and each wave is perpendicular to the other and is in phase. perpendicular to the direction of the wave
The wave is a disturbance in the electric and magnetic field in space. These fields exist even in empty space.

Like any other object, they will travel in a straight line as long as no force pulls them sideways. Forces that might affect them (if present) include, in this case, gravity, as well as electric and magnetic fields.

Sound waves are mechanical waves, NOT electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves need a substance to pass through, that is, they need some sort of surface to vibrate against to send compression waves through to the surrounding air. Electromagnetic waves however may travel through empty space as they have no need for a surface, instead, they need only electric and magnetic fields that are present in empty space to pass through. (vibrating electric fields will, in turn, vibrate the magnetic field, which will then trigger a nearby electric field to vibrate, which will make another magnetic field to vibrate, and this is how electromagnetic waves may travel through empty space, but mechanical waves may not)
Electromagnetic waves are changes in both the electric and magnetic fields of space, which propagate as a wave. These do not need atoms to propagate - on the contrary, the presence of matter tends to interfere with light, etc.
