An electromagnetic wave is properly called a Transverse Electro Magnetic wave, or TEM wave. It consists of an alternating magnetic wave at right angles to an alternating electric wave, with both fields being at right angles to the direction of propagation.

The plane of the electric field is defined as the plane of polarization.
