From the diagram we can see how to draw a EM wave , Now how to analyse the direction of oscillation and direction of wave we need to form the wave equations.

#E_x=E_osin(omegat-kz)#
#B_y=B_osin(omegat-kz)#

when electromagnetic wave travel in space electric and magnetic field both are perpendicular to each other ,and the direction of motion of wave is given by #ExxB#
