"We can scarcely avoid the inference that light consists in the transverse undulations...is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena," he said.9 So optical phenomena became theoretically unified with electromagnetism. 8.

...Clerk Maxwell, a professor at King's College, London, who wrote 'we can scarcely avoid the inference that light consists in the transverse undulations...which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena' [2]. Maxwell's achievement was not only to unify the laws governing electromagnetic fields but to change...

...electricity and magnetism - nothing to do with light - or so people thought at the time. Maxwell concluded, 'that light consists in the transverse undulations...is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena'. We now describe light as an undulation (or waving) of the electromagnetic field. You may be familiar...

...direction of travel and perpendicular to each other. Thus Maxwell concluded that light also consisted of the "transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena" (Halliday and Resnick, 1988, p. 847). So did the neighboring regions of the optical spectrum, infrared...
