So i know that magnetic field lines are closed, in an electromagnetc wave how can be these lines closed? i cannot picture this in my head

SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the nature of electromagnetic (EM) waves and the configuration of magnetic field lines within them. It establishes that magnetic field lines are indeed closed, even in the context of EM waves. The conversation highlights the radiation pattern associated with a standard dipole antenna, confirming its central role in the propagation of these waves. Participants clarify the visualization of these concepts, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between magnetic fields and antennas.
