In physics, electromagnetic radiation or an electromagnetic wave is a self-propagating wave of the electromagnetic field that carries momentum and radiant energy through space. It encompasses a broad
Electromagnetic field
…a disturbance in the magnetic field which in turn affects the electric field, leading to an oscillation that propagates through space, known as an electromagnetic wave. Mathematically, the electromagnetic field is a pair of vector fields consisting of one vector for the electric field and one for the magnetic field…
