Explanation

**Transverse nature** means E and B perpendicular to direction, e.g., wave propagating along z, E along x, B along y, Poynting vector S = E×B/μ₀ along z, energy flow direction. E and B in phase, maxima together, ratio fixed c. The document highlights that Maxwell's equations predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, which are time-varying electric and magnetic fields that propagate in space. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Existence of electromagnetic waves, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
