Solution

Electromagnetic waves do not required any medium to propagate. They can travel in  vacuum. They are transverse in nature like light. They carry both energy and momentum. A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and vice-versa . Which gives rise to a transverse wave known as electromagnetic wave
