Question

Who first proposed the light as an electromagnetic wave?

✓

Answer

James Clerk Maxwell

Explanation:
In 1864, Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, the existence of which had not been confirmed before that time, and out of his prediction came the concept of light being a wave, or more specifically, a type of electromagnetic wave. It is a wide intuition that Albert Einstein proposed the dual nature theory but is not correct.
