Yes, but it is also, at the same time, emitted in particles (photons) too. This is called the "wave-particle duality" of light.

When light waves are emitted by a moving source scientists can measure?
When light waves are emitted by moving source scientists can measure the Doppler effects. It is a source of energy that produces light.
What EM waves are emitted by fire?
Light (visible) and heat (infrared)
What type of wavefront will emerge from a point source and distant light source?
For a point in space (or from a distant light object), spherical waves are emitted. From a point source on the surface of a liquid, circular waves will come out. In both cases the source will be the focus of the emitted waves.
When light waves are emitted by moving sources scientists can measure?

What color light is emitted by radio waves?
Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.
What are coherence?
COHERENT WAVESWhen the light waves are emitted from a single source and they have the zero phase difference between them then the waves are said to be coherent. The coherent waves are shown below:
What is the matter emitted by the sun called?
Various things are emitted byt the sun - light and heat are the best known but other electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays are also emitted. Theoretically gravitons are sent out too
How is the light of an emission spectrum of an element produced?
Basically, energy is emitted when an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. Such energy is emitted as electromagnetic waves, which in certain cases can be visible light.
What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.
What form of energy travels as waves from the sun to the earth?
Answer: RadiationThis includes visible light, gamma rays, UV rays and other waves. They can be seen in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why do you see color when you burn a metallic salt?
During the burning process, electrones shift between different energy levels. Returning from a higher to a lower energy level, electromagnetic waves (light) are emitted. Depending on what substance was burned, waves of different length are emitted, i.e. light of different color is radiated.
What waves are emitted by the sun?
electromagnetic
