Expert Solution
Step 1

Electromagnetic waves result from the interaction of electric and magnetic fields in which both are perpendicular to each other. Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature i.e. they oscillate in the direction perpendicular to the wave motion. They are non-mechanical waves.
