What type of electromagnetic waves were produced and observed by Jagdish Chandra Bose in his experiments?

**Relationship E and B** in EM wave E₀ = c B₀, B₀ = E₀/c, for vacuum. Fields sustain each other via Maxwell's equations ∇×E = -∂B/∂t, ∇×B = μ₀ ε₀ ∂E/∂t, time-varying E produces B and vice versa, self-sustaining propagation without medium, speed c. The document mentions that J.C. Bose produced and observed electromagnetic waves with wavelengths of 25 mm to 5 mm , which fall in the microwave range. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Microwaves, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
