ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY OF LIGHT James Clark Maxwell, a brilliant Scottish scientist Of the middle l9th century, showed, by constructing an oscillating electrical circuit, that electromagnetic waves could move through empty space. ... Theelectromagnetic energy of light is a form ofelectromagnetic radiation.With the publication of "A Dynamical Theoryof the Electromagnetic Field" in 1865,Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space aswaves moving at the speed of light. Heproposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena.
