Why we say that em waves are transverse in nature? In a region empty of electric charge, we have, from Maxwell's equations: $$\nabla \cdot \vec E = \nabla \cdot \vec B = 0$$

Transverse Nature of Electromagnetic Waves. In an electromagnetic wave, electric and magnetic field vectors are perpendicular to each other and at the same time are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. This nature of electromagnetic wave is known as Transverse nature.
- Following are a few applications of electromagnetic waves: Electromagnetic radiations can transmit energy in a vacuum or using no medium at all. E...
- Electromagnetic waves are also known as EM waves. Electromagnetic radiation is composed of electromagnetic waves that are produced when an electric...
- The change in direction of a wave, while passing from one medium to another is known as refraction.
- The sequence for the propagation of electromagnetic waves is generation, propagation, reflection, and reception.
- The velocity of an electromagnetic wave is a property which is dependent on the medium in which it is travelling. Other properties such as frequenc...
Electromagnetic waves are ubiquitous in nature (i.e., light) and used in modern technology—AM and FM radio, cordless and cellular phones, garage door openers, wireless networks, radar, microwave ovens, etc. These and many more such devices use electromagnetic waves to transmit data and signals.
Sep 15, 2023 · A comprehensive guide to understanding the transverse nature of electromagnetic waves. Learn how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate in a wave, their applications, and the role of electromagnetic waves in technology.
Feb 16, 2023 · Transverse simply means that the polarization vector of the EM wave is orthogonal to the wave vector. That is the definition of the term. It applies to free EM waves because $\vec{E}$, $\vec{B}$, $\vec{k}$ are enforced to be orthogonal by imposing the constraints of Maxwell's equations on the decoupled EM wave equations.
Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave’s advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.
The transverse nature of electromagnetic waves. We examine first what Gauss’s law for electric fields implies about the relative directions of the electric field and the propagation direction in an electromagnetic wave.
