Electromagnetic waves.
These include all frequencies from Gamma (short wavelength, close together when moving at c, at the 'blue' end of the spectrum, so high frequency) through ultra violet, visible light, infra red and longer microwave and radio frequencies, and probably beyond, (long wavelength or 'red' and low 'frequency' when at c).
Waves are a 'fluctuation' of a property, which interact with matter, 'charging' it, then being re-emitted ('atomic scattering'). Also propagated by the waves (photo-ionization). It is the particles that are considered to contain the energy to emit so implement the 'properties'.
EM waves are still 'poorly understood', as are the theoretical quantizations of emission or 'particles' we term 'photons', which means we actually know very little about what they are or how they really work. Current theory leaves many anomalies.

Which waves have some electrical properties and some magnetic properties?
The answer is electromagnetic waves.
Do electric and magnetic fields make up electromagnetic waves?
Yes, both electric and magnetic fields make up electromagnetic waves. We know that electromagnetic waves (like light) have both an electric and a magnetic component. Both of these components are waves, and they move (propagate) at right angles to each other, and in phase.
Does light appear in waves?
Yes - it is called an electromagnetic wave, because both the electric and the magnetic field change.
Are light waves longitudinal or tranverse?
light waves are transverse waves in which both electric and magnetic fields are mutually perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
Do Electromagnetic waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields?
Yes, that is the whole idea of an electromagnetic waves. A changing electric field generates a changing magnetic field; a changing magnetic field generates a changing electric field; and the two of them propagate as a wave at the speed of light.

How do electromagnet waves that have electric and magnetic fields travel?
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

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.
How does the non-mechanical waves move through the space?
Non-mechanical waves(radio waves) which are sent into space are nothing but electromagnetic waves similar to light waves.Unlike sound waves or water ripples(waves) which require a medium to propagate in,electromagnetic waves are self-sustaining waves.We know that a moving charge causes a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field induces an electric field.Since an electromagnetic wave comprises of both electric waves and magnetic waves which are caused by each other,therefore they dont require a medium for propagation.
Name two properties of electromagnetic waves?
They are all transverse waves. They can all travel at the speed of light, 3*10^8 m/s. Able to travel through a vacuum or through a medium. Formed by oscillating magnetic and electric fields. All exibit other characteristics of waves such as reflection, refraction, interference and the Doppler Effect.
Electromagnetic waves are produced by?
an electric field and a magnetic field both oscillating at the same frequency and orthogonal to each other.
Light possesses two properties?
Light possesses both properties of a wave and a particle. As a wave it is an oscillating electric and magnetic field. As a particle, light is a packet of energy that is treated as a point particle that does not have an electric field without a charge.
