What are electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

A changing magnetic field will induce a changing electric field and vice-versa the two are linked. These changing fields form electromagnetic waves.This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Fun fact - The first oranges weren’t orange

The original oranges from Southeast Asia were a tangerine-pomelo hybrid, and they were actually green. In fact, oranges in warmer regions like Vietnam and Thailand still stay green through maturity.
