Currently Playing: What is Light? How Faraday Dreamed of Electromagnetic Waves!

What is Light? Well, it's an electromagnetic wave but what is that? The best way to explain it is to learn the story of *why* Michael Faraday came up with this crazy idea in 1846! Enjoy As usual the background music is from the fabulous Kim Nalley
