Maxwell most prominent achievement was formulating a set of equations that united previously unrelated observations, experiments, and equations of electricity, magnetism, and optics into a consistent theory. His theory of classical electromagnetism demonstrates that electricity, magnetism and light are all manifestations of the samephenomenon, namely the electromagnetic field.
Maxwell left the Academy in 1847 at the age of 16 and began attending classes at the University of Edinburgh.Having had the opportunity to attend the University of Cambridge after his first term Maxwell instead decided to complete the full course of his undergraduate studies at Edinburgh.In October 1850, already an accomplished mathematician, Maxwell left Scotland for the University of Cambridge. He initially attended Peterhouse, but before the end of his first term transferred to Trinity, where he believed it would be easier to obtain a fellowship. At Trinity, he was elected to the elite secret society known as the Cambridge Apostles
Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space in the form of waves at the speed of light in 1865, with the publication of A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field. Maxwell proposed that light was in fact undulations in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena.The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves.
