Correct Answer: Maxwell


Solution : The correct answer is Maxwell.

Mr. James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish physicist and mathematician, was the first to establish that light had an electromagnetic character. Maxwell devised a set of equations known as Maxwell's equations that describe the behaviour and interactions of electric and magnetic fields. These equations demonstrated that light is an electromagnetic wave composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through space.
