I don't know what "moving at right angles" means, but Kaluza-Klein proposed a fifth dimension whos curvature relative to spacetime would account for the phenomena of electromagnetism. Generalizations to more dimensions are Yang-Mills theories introducing concepts that are foundational to modern physics.
A wave traveling in Klein's fifth dimension and time would appear a massive stationary particle. A gravity wave with any component in this direction would appear to be slowed from it's natural velocity of c. Electromagnetic radiation would be waves with curvature amplitude associating one spacetime dimension with this fifth dimension, and propagating exclusively in spacetime.
