Answer
- In mutually perpendicular planes but vibrating in phase
The Electromagnetic wave consists of the two mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields present in the medium and also both being perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. The two fields are in same phase as they obtain their peaks at the same instant.
