User:Atcovi/What is a Wave?/Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic Waves are Transverse Waves, that are created by movement of electrically charged particles. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light (300,000km/s in a vacuum). Electromagnetic waves are composed of photons, basically... massless bundles of energy. These photons move in a transverse wave.
