Electromagnetic wave plane fields

A stylized plane electromagnetic wave shown in clean textbook diagram style as two synchronized sinusoidal components traveling horizontally to the right along a propagation axis. The electric field is depicted as a blue sine wave and the magnetic field as a red sine wave. The two oscillations are in phase and oriented at right angles to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation, with smooth evenly spaced crests and troughs. A clear forward arrow indicates travel, and optional arrowheads may mark the perpendicular field directions.
