An electromagnetic wave is a type of wave that consists of synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. These waves travel through empty space (vacuum) as well as through various mediums (such as air, water, and solids) at the speed of light. They are produced by the acceleration of electric charges and are characterized by their frequency (f) and wavelength (λ).
The waves that are related to electricity and magnetism are known as electromagnetic waves.
