No. Electromagnetic waves are classified as transverse waves because the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

What is the 4 waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
What is wave 4?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
How waves classified?
waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
How are electromagnetic waves classified?
electromagnetic waves are classified according to wavelengththis waz written by me Haley
Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
What is the waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
What is the 4 waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
X-ray longitudinal or transverse?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic waves; electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
What is wave 4?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
How waves classified?
waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
Is infared a transverse or longitudinal wave?
No doubt about it; infra red rays are transverse in nature. Only sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. Infra red belongs to that family of electromagnetic waves.

What are the three main types of waves?
1.Longitudinal waves 2. Transverse waves
Is polarization possible for longitudinal waves?
polarization is not possible for longitudinal waves in electromagnetic waves electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and these two are perpendicular to direction of propagation so by using vertical or horizantal slits it is possible to polarize the electromagnetic waves where as in longitudinal waves the particles vibration is parllel to the direction of propagation so it is not possible to polarize the longitudinal waves
