Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave, and like all electromagnetic waves, they are indeed transverse waves. This means that the oscillations of their electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Electromagnetic waves are oscillating electric an magnetic fields they include radio waves, microwaves, infra-red, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays and gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves and they all travel at the speed of light ( 3 x 108 ms-1 ) in a vacuum.
