No, light is not a longitudinal wave. It's actual geometric structure is two perpendicular waves of force fields, one electric and one magnetic (hence, electro-magnetic) which vary in a sine wave form as they propagate in a direction perpendicular to the two directions of the sine waves. This is much more complicated than the compression waves associated with sound, or the waves of water on the ocean surface.
No, it's a tranverse wave.
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Longitudinal
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.
No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
Yes longitudinal waves can be diffracted. Example: Light waves.
No, light waves are not longitudinal waves. Light is an example of a transverse wave, like a wave moving across the surface of water. Sound or seismic waves are examples of longitudinal waves.

Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
