White light is comprised of a variety of wavelengths of light. The spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet shows you these different wavelengths as they are diffracted through a prism. Red light is the longest wavelength of light - roughly 750nanometres (that 750EXP-9m) and blue light is one of the shortest at around 450nanometres.

What waves have the most light waves?

Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.


Are light waves transverse waves?

Yes, light waves are transverse, because in light wave, disturbance of the medium occurs at right angles to the direction of wave propagation of wave.


Does waves with longer wave lengths have a higher frequency that waves with shorter wave lenghts?

No, waves with longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave.
