Light waves are transverse. Sound waves are longitudinal ones.
This is true no matter what grade you're in, and it'll still be true next year.

Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Are light radio and sound transverse waves?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.

Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
Which of the following is not a transverse wave sound or radio wave or light or all of the above or none of the above?
Sound.
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
How are sound and light forms of energy different?
Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
