Here's why:

* Electromagnetic waves are disturbances that travel through space by the interplay of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

* Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that our eyes can see. It travels at the speed of light and exhibits wave-like properties, such as reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

* Other examples of electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. They all differ in their frequency and wavelength, but share the same fundamental nature.
