What kind of wave is an electromagnetic wave

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-13] [Hit: ]
It is a transverse wave, meaning the amplitude is perpendicular to the direction propagation. This can be shown from Maxwells equations.-Radio waves.......
Physics help please. I know somebody can. Thank you for your time.

it falls into the category of transverse waves and it is a form of energy emitted and absorbed by charged particles, which exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. EMR has both electric and magnetic field components, which stand in a fixed ratio of intensity to each other, and which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of energy and wave propagation. In vacuum, electromagnetic radiation propagates at a characteristic speed, the speed of light.

Do you mean transverse or longitudinal? You have to specify if you want a clear answer.
