Light was thought either to consist of waves by Huygens or of particles by Newton.
Light has a dual nature, as outlined by Albert Einstein. That means that light has properties of both transverse waves and particles.
Because the light waves travel through its molecules. Alternative answer: Light waves have a dual nature; one electromagnetic and another a photonic wave. These waves travel through air, hitting all kinds of objects. Some of these objects are transparent (glass), which allow the light waves to pass only in the form of photonic wave. After the light wave pass through the object (glass), it obtains back its dual nature.
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'
particle and wave
If you're talking about the "wave-particle duality", then no.
It means that if you design an experiment to detect the behavior of particles, andrun light through it, light behaves as if it's made of particles. And if you design anexperiment to detect the behavior of waves, and run light through it, light behavesas if it's made of waves. Light has a "dual nature". That means it acts like two thingsthat we always thought were separate ... waves andparticles.
Light was thought either to consist of waves by Huygens or of particles by Newton.
Light is meant to help you see but if too bright it can blind you.
Light has a dual nature, as outlined by Albert Einstein. That means that light has properties of both transverse waves and particles.
In 1924 de Broglie proposed that a material particle such as an electron might have a dual nature.
Louis De Broglie in 1921 discovered the dual nature of radiations
The wave-particle duality theory. This explains why sometimes light appears to travel as a wave, and why sometimes it appears to travel as a particle.

light travel as a wave but it carries photon which is consider to be a particle.so photon done function as a particle and wave motion made effect as wave.
