∙ 11y agoJames Clerk Maxwell did many things in science. His most famous achievement was predicting that light was an electromagnetic wave. Maxwell was an assistant to Faraday in providing a mathematical formulation of Faraday's laws. Faraday had no formulas in his works but he was the leading Physicist.
