electromagnetic radiation is not just simply a wave. When observed it appears to be a particle, when measured a wave. See the wiki article on the double-slit experiment.

What do you mean when you say that light is a electromagnetic?

When we say that light is an electromagnetic wave, we mean that light is made up of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other as the wave travels through space. This behavior is described by Maxwell's equations in electromagnetism.
