No. Electromagnetic waves are light waves that include gamma waves, x-rays, UV light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, TV waves, and radio waves--basically any form of radiation.

What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
How do sound waves form?
by electromagnetic fields
What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
What are not detected by telescopes Radio waves sound waves X rays Visible light?
"Sound waves" is the only item on that list that is not a form of electromagnetic radiation, so no form of 'telescope' works for sound.

Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
What does contrast electromagnetic waves with water and sound waves mean?
It means explain how electromagnetic waves are different than water and sound waves.
Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
Sound waves are examples of?
electromagnetic waves
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
Are ultrasonic waves called as electromagnetic wave?
No ultrasonic waves are not a form of electromagnetic wave. Ultrasonic waves are nothing more than high frequency sound waves. They can be made with a suitable speaker or transducer.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
