What is the difference between electric and magnetic waves? Does one have higher wave frequencies than the other? (A change of the electric field causes a change of the magnetic field, and vice versa, so both components have same frequency. - GS).

I understand the vibration between certain bonds but if one has electric does it vibrate at high frequencies or not? I’m having a hard time grasping the broad idea of it.  (The IR absorption takes place only if it causes a change in the dipole moment of the molecule. - GS).
