Do electromagnetic waves literally have electric fields and magnetic fields OR is it just something to call them?

yes. EMR has both electrical and magnetic fields, generated perpendicular to each other.
some reading: Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
interesting EMR animation: Electromagnetic Wave Physics 30 Unit 3 - YouTube

Some years ago, they actually were calculated separately. This was not too long ago actually. But this has since then changed. There is no real output difference, it's only generated differently.
So let me get this straight : Electromagnetic radiation is caused by accelerated(decelerated) electrons?
Ok, so accelerated or decelerated? Or both?
The term "acceleration" refers to a change in velocity, and that can be both a positive or a negative value. Such a thing as "deceleration" does not really exist as a separate concept, it is just a figure of speech.
EM radiation results when a charge changes it state of motion, in whatever way![]()
