Guru Nanak Dev Ji (15 April 1469 - 22 September 1539), the founder of Sikhism, was the first person to describe the one light as having two forms - electromagnetic waves. Below is the quote from Sikhism's holy scripture (Guru Granth Sahib):
"O Nanak, the One Light has two forms; through the Shabad, union is attained".
(Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, pg. 30).
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (February 22, 1857 - January 1, 1894) was a German physicist who clarified and expanded the electromagnetic theory of light that had been put forth by Maxwell. He was the first to satisfactorily demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves by building an apparatus to produce and detect VHF or UHF radio waves.

Lewis was nominated for the Chemistry Nobel Prize 35 times but never won. His invention of this term was almost a throw-away idea.

Who discovered wave theory of light?
Christiaan Huygens
Who discovered light can move?
Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton were both responsible for the knowledge we have today on the motion of light. Huygens proposed his wave theory for light's motion and Newton proposed the particle theory in the 17th century. It is accepted today that light moves in both wave form and particle form at once.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
What is the wave model of light?
its a light behaviour that represents light travelling as a wave
What describes light traveling as a wave?
a wave model of light.
Who discovered wave theory of light?
Christiaan Huygens
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.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
When was wave rock first discovered?
Wave Rock is near Hyden in Western Australia.

What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
Light travels as a longitudal wave?

Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Is the light wave electromagnetic or no?
The light wave is electromagnetic yes.
