Accepted Answer
The three directions are all "orthogonal". That means that the direction of the wave is forward, the direction of the electrostatic field is across it ... say up and down ... and the magnetic field is also across it but perpendicular to the electrostatic field ... left and right. Saying it another way . . .The electrostatic field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other, andboth of them are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling.
