Japanese term or phrase: 変動電場(横波)の強さが逆1乗則をとるのは観測事実です。
I am having trouble parsing this sentence and would like help translating 変動電場.

Any assistance appreciated.

変動電場
oscillating electric field


Explanation:
The strength of an (oscillating) electric field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source (inverse square law), which is 逆2乗則. I am not sure what 逆1乗則 could be other than a typo?

Also, an electric field is a transverse wave (横波). More info at link below.

I think a better answer could be "time-varying electric field".

Time-dependent electric field


Explanation:
In all the electromagnetics classes I took, my instructors and books often referred to this term as time-dependent electric field much like time-dependent Schodinger's equation. However, I don't understand where transverse wave comes from. My guess is they are trying to say the field strength is sinusoidal but gradually being killed off like under-damped harmonic oscillator.
