which direction do light waves travel
A light wave consists of energy in the form of an electric filed and a magnetic field. The electric and magnetic fields vibrate at right angles (that is, at angles which measure 90 degrees) to the direction in which the light wave is moving. Light has both the electric field and the magnetic field.his is because unlike other types of waves, such as sound waves, water wave â¦ s, etc., light waves do not need a medium to travel through.
