The speed calculated for such waves, which happened to be precisely the speed of light.
light waves are electromagnetic
Light IS an electromagnetic wave.
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
Yes, more or less. James Clerk Maxwell predicted that an electromagnetic wave would propagate at the speed of light. Therefore, he also suspected that light was an electromagnetic wave.

James Maxwell
As soon as James Clerk-Maxwell developed the math that predicted the existence of electromagnetic radiation, he suggested that light could be one of its forms.
The speed calculated for such waves, which happened to be precisely the speed of light.
James Clerk Maxwell, on the basis of some calculations, predicted that something called electromagnetic waves should exist. Since, according to his calculations, these waves would propagate at the speed of light, he suggested that light might also be an electromagnetic wave. This was later confirmed - but I am not sure who confirmed it.
Strange as it may seem, the speed of all electromagnetic waves was predicted longbefore it was ever measured. After the speed was predicted, measurements of light-speed supported the growing suspicion that light is electromagnetic radiation, becausethe measured speed was so close to the predicted speed.Measuring the speed of light is not easy, and several clever methods had to be inventedin order to do it. Calculus was almost certainly used at many points in the applicationof these methods.
Light is a form electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell predicted the speed of an EM wave, and it was found to be identical to that of light.It arose in the form of constants in the wave equation that falls out of Maxwell's four equations that summarize the relationships among electrodynamic and magnetic fields.
