Want this question answered?
Diffraction, Interference etc are the phenomenon which confirm the wave nature of light.!
Light is said to be of dual nature so it has particle nature as well as wave nature but there is a difference in waves and electromagnetic waves. so ,as for your question "Is light a electromagnetic wave" the answer is "no"More precisely, if visible is not an electromagnetic wave, the NO part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be considered to be an electromagnetic wave. By any definition of the term, the answer is 'Yes'
photoelectric effect
Einstein. He stated that light acts as both a particle and a wave.
Newton wave nature
Albert Einstein's Photo-electric effect is one of the proof of the particle nature of light. The experiment on the wave particle duality is another proof pf the particle nature of light.
Light is transverse in nature.

Light being electromanetic wave is TRANSVERSE in nature.
Light acts like both a particle and a wave.

polarization
photoelectric effect
No.
Light exhibits wave and particle properties.
It can't.
Well light is both a wave and a particle. In this case it's wave nature dominates it's particle nature. SO basically the wave nature of light helps it to follow Huygens' principle which leads to reflection refraction or defraction.
