Light waves are just basically a form of the electromagnetic fundamental force. Light waves are created when electricity and magnetism turn into one another. This is true for radio waves as well. The higher the intensity of light waves, the faster the electricity and magnetism are transforming into each other. For examples, when you tune into 99.9 Virgin Radio, the electric and magnetic waves are turning into each other 99.9 million times a second. This is know as the SI unit of hertz.

The formula for light is N=C/V where "N" is the density of the medium, "C" is the speed of light in a vacuum(3.0x10*8)m/s, and "V" is the speed of light in that given medium.
