Electromagnetic (EM) waves are self-propagating waves of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light. They do not require a medium to travel through, and can travel through a vacuum. EM waves are produced by the vibrations of charged particles and have both electric and magnetic components perpendicular to each other.
