Solve the following questions:
1. What is an electromagnetic wave?
Rta/ They are those that do not need a medium for their propagation, they can
travel in a vacuum such as the light, these originate from electric and magnetic
fields.

It is the oscillation
direction of the
wave.
h. Polarization direction (i^ , ^j or ^j
k^ ) It is the orientation
of the electric field
vector with respect
to the horizon.
