Question

What do you mean by transverse nature of electromatic?

Answer 1

In an electromagnetic wave, electric and magnetic field vectors are perpendicular to each other and at the same time are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave. This nature of electromagnetic wave is known as Transverse nature.

Maxwell proved that both the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other in the direction of wave propagation. He considered an electromagnetic wave propagating along positive x-axis. When a rectangular parallelepiped was placed parallel to the three co-ordinate axis, the electric and magnetic fields propagate sinusoidal with x-axis and are independent of y and z axis.
