Vedclass · Answer

(C) Electromagnetic waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.In these waves,the electric field vector and the magnetic field vector oscillate perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.Since the oscillations of the fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation,electromagnetic waves are classified as transverse waves.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.
