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.

How are the magnetic fields oriented in relation to the electric fields in electromagnetic waves?

In electromagnetic waves, the magnetic fields are oriented perpendicular to the electric fields.


What consists of changing electric and magnetic field s?

Changing electric and magnetic fields consist of producing electric currents, electromagnetic waves, or inducing magnetic fields in a given medium. This change can be observed through various phenomena, such as electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic radiation, or the propagation of electromagnetic waves.


Why are electromagnetic waves called EM waves?

Electromagnetic waves are called EM waves because they are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These fields propagate through space, carrying energy with them. The combination of electric and magnetic fields gives rise to the term "electromagnetic."


What do electromagnetic waves transmit?

Electromagnetic waves transmit energy and information through the interaction of electric and magnetic fields.


Which waves are transverse waves that disturb electromagnetic fields?

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that disturb electromagnetic fields. These waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, propagating through vacuum or a medium at the speed of light.


What is Created by vibrations in electric and magnetic fields?

Electromagnetic waves are created by vibrations in electric and magnetic fields. These waves propagate through space and include forms of radiation such as light, radio waves, and microwaves. They travel at the speed of light and have both electric and magnetic components perpendicular to each other.


Are electromagnetic waves deflected by magnetic and electric fields?

According to photon theory ,electromagnetic radiation consists of photon which are changeless particles. therefore they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.


What is light an oscillation of?

Light is an electromagnetic wave, that is, an oscillation of both the electric and the magnetic fields.


Would electromagnetic waves exist if changing magnetic fields could produce electric fields but chaning electric fields could not in turn produce magnetic fields?

No, electromagnetic waves require the mutual generation of electric and magnetic fields. This reciprocal relationship allows the waves to propagate through space as self-sustaining oscillations. If only one field could generate the other but not vice versa, electromagnetic waves would not exist.


What are two kinds of fields that make up electromagnetic waves?

Electric and Magnetic


What electromagnetic waves travel Through?

What transverse waves disturb electromagnetic fields?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, are transverse waves that disturb electromagnetic fields. The changing electric and magnetic fields of these waves propagate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
