Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?

The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.

Would a stationary electron produce an electromagnetic wave?
My answer is NO, since vibrating electric charge cannot exist independently (conservation of electric charge cannot be violated). Vibrating electric charge can only exist as part of electric charge wave.
Is an electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave constant in time?
No, the electric field oscillates in magnitude and direction as it propagates in the electromagnetic wave.
Can electromagnetic wave deflect by electric or magnetic field?
No. An electromagnetic wave IS electric and magnetic fields.
What are parts of an electromagnetic wave?
Electric field and magnetic field
When electric and magnetic fields both exist it is called an?
Not really. You could have both an electric field and a magnetic field occupying the same space at the same time but they wouldn't 'make the definition' of electromagnetic until they began to fluxuate in phase at a harmonized frequency.
What is in a vibrating electric and a magnetic field?
they both have a Electromagnetic wave.

What are electromagnetic oscillators?
when a charge oscillates for example in a capacitor it produce an electric field; which in turns produce a magnetic field in an inductance. the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field and an electromagnetic waves perpendicular to both is produced.

What does electromagnetic waves means?
An electromagnetic wave, in its simplest description, is a wave that as it propagates keeps converting its magnetic field into an electric field while converting its electric field into a magnetic field.
Does an electromagnetic wave have an electric field?
Yes
Where do you get electromagnetic energy?
•Electromagnetic energy is a combination of electric and magnetic fields vibrating in relation to another. •Includes -Power -Radio waves -Infrared light -Visible light -Ultraviolet light -X rays -Gamma rays -Cosmic rays •Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field (shown as blue arrows) couples with a magnetic field (shown as red arrows). •The magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave.
Why is light in the electromagnetic spectrum Is light a type of electromagnetic radiation But how does that work Light is not magnetic or is it?
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by eye, and we call that bit "light". The thing about electromagnetic radiation is that a varying magnetic field causes a (varying) electric field (that's how power stations make electric current) and a varying electric field causes a (varying) magnetic field. So electromagnetic radiation is what you get when a varying electric field creates a varying magnetic field which in turn contributes the varying electric field. The whole thing then appears as bundled varying electric and magnetic field wave system which propagates at the velocity of light, That is why it is called electromagnetic. There are no magnetic poles or electric charges in it, and it can travel through a vacuum.
What ionizing radiation is not affected by an electric field?
No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.
When electric and magnetic fields both exist it is called an?
Not really. You could have both an electric field and a magnetic field occupying the same space at the same time but they wouldn't 'make the definition' of electromagnetic until they began to fluxuate in phase at a harmonized frequency.
