Hyperphysics: Electromagnetic Waves
written by Carl Rod Nave
This Wikipedia page contains a labeled diagram of an electromagnetic wave showing how the electric and magnetic vectors change as a wave moves through space. Text introduces the physics of the wave. Just above the diagram is a map of related concepts, depicted as a network.

This page is part of the HyperPhysics Collection, which contains many short, illustrated pages on various areas of physics and astronomy.
