32 Electromagnetic Waves
A self-sustaining transverse wave of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travels at the speed of light and carries energy and momentum.
(\(\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0\mathbf{J} + \mu_0\varepsilon_0\dfrac{\partial\mathbf{E}}{\partial t}\)) (Ampère–Maxwell law).
