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.

How electromagnet spectrum was found?

Electromagnetic spectrum is formed due to the difference of wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiations as they are orderly distributed.


Who found electromagnetic waves?

I know that James Clerk Maxwell developed equations for electromagnetism.


How old was James maxwell when he found the em spectrum?

James Clerk Maxwell did not find the electromagnetic spectrum, he showed that both electric and magnetic fields travel in forms of waves and at the speed of light, he also able to mathematically combine the previously separated theories of electricity and magnetism into a unified theory of electromagnetism.


Found that electric and magnetic energy move in waves.?

Electric and magnetic energy travel in waves called electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space at the speed of light. Examples of electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays.


Who made the discovery that found the electromagnetic theory of light?

James Clerk Maxwell unified the existing theories of electricity and magnetism into a single set of equations, which led to the discovery of the electromagnetic theory of light.


Who found that electic and magnetic energy move in waves?

James Clerk Maxwell developed a set of equations in the 19th century that unified the theories of electricity and magnetism. These equations showed that electric and magnetic fields propagate through space as electromagnetic waves, leading to the discovery of radio waves, X-rays, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.


What characteristics of the electromagnetic waves predicted by maxwells theory led him to suggest that light might be electromagnetic wave?

Maxwell's theory predicted that electromagnetic waves could travel at the speed of light, which was already known for light. He also found that these waves could exhibit properties similar to light, such as reflection, refraction, and interference, leading him to suggest that light might itself be an electromagnetic wave.


Can cancer travel through water?

No. cancer can't travel through water, but there agents that may be found in water that may lead to cancer. like heavy metals, radiations and other toxic chemical agents.


How did James maxwell discover that light wave is an electromagnetic wave?

He added an extra mathematical term to Ampere's law and discovered that with what are now called Maxwell's equations there is a free-space solutions in the form of waves. He found that the wave solutions travel at the speed of light, so he guessed that they were light. This was later proved to be correct. The equations also predicted the existence of radio waves and these were discovered 15 years later.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light found?

Visible light is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and ultraviolet light, with wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers. It is the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye.


Who is father of electromagnetism?

The father of electromagnetism is Michael Faraday. He made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic fields and their interaction with electricity. His experiments and discoveries laid the foundation for modern electromagnetic theory.


Who found that electric and magnetic energy moon and waves?

James Clerk Maxwell developed a set of equations, known as Maxwell's equations, that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. These equations predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, which were later confirmed by Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century.
