studying wave, i learnt that word 'electromagnatic wave'.
what is the relation between electron and magnate on that?

If you learn Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and Einsteins theory of relativity than you will learn that electricity and magnetism are the same thing seen from two different point of view. A electromagnetic wave (i.e. light) is two electric and magnetic field traveling together.
