Why does light is called as an electromagnetic radiation?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Because of a theory that states it is made up of perpendicular oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

anonymous · Answer

Light is known as electromagnetic radiation because it has two complementary components which were found to be a magnetic field wave in synchronous motion with an electric field wave.

anonymous · Answer

light is called an electromagnetic wave because it is composed of electrical as well as magnetic fields.
E=cB;E=electrical field & B=magnetic field,c=speed of light in vaccum
or you can say simply light as an electrial wave as E=cB
