Electromagnetic waves are typically represented by sinusoidal waves in diagrams, where the oscillation of the electric and magnetic fields is shown propagating through space. The electric field is often shown as oscillating along one axis, while the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to it. These representations illustrate the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation.
