Yes I guess the question is related to the visible light. The visible light is transverse in nature. One more important point is that the light waves are not mechanical waves. Mecahnical waves do need a material medium to get traversed. Sound waves are mechanical waves. But light being non mechanical and being electromagnetic it can pass even through vacuum.

Is a water wave transverse or longitudinal?
Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water. Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.
Who transverse waves are different from longitudinal waves?
A longitudinal wave is a "side-on" waveform. A transverse Wave is a "end-on" waveform.
