Inline SVG — EM Wave Geometry:

x (propagation) E (electric field, y-axis) B (magnetic field, z-axis) E and B are IN PHASE (peaks and zeros coincide) λ (one wavelength) $E_{0}$

Key Labels and Annotations:

  • Orange curve (E): Electric field oscillation along y-axis
  • Blue dashed curve (B): Magnetic field oscillation along z-axis
  • x-axis: Direction of wave propagation
  • E0E_{0}: Amplitude of electric field
  • λ: One complete wavelength
  • Critical observation: Both E and B reach their maxima at the same x-position (in phase)
