James Clerk Maxwell came up with the Theory of Electromagnetic Radiation.

He stated that, "When electrically charged particle moves under acceleration, alternating electrical and magnetic fields are produced and transmitted in the forms of waves called electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiation."

This is the Theory of Electromagnetic Radiation.
