The most important prediction to emerge from Maxwell’s equations
is the existence of electromagnetic waves, which are (coupled) time-
varying electric and magnetic fields that propagate in space The speed
of the waves,  according to these equations, turned out to be very close to

the speed of light( 3 ×108 m/s), obtained from optical
measurements This led to the remarkable conclusion
that light is an electromagnetic wave Maxwell’s work
thus unified the domain of electricity, magnetism and
light
