No. Green light, like all electromagnetic waves, is a transverse wave.
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.

In physics, light can be thought of as packets of particles called photons. Light also has a wave nature.
In Acts, verse 9, describes Paul seeing the light.

Electromagnetic and transverse.
The type of medium and temperature of the medium it is traveling through, to name a couple. There are probably more. Also, the type of wave, as a sound wave is far slower than a light wave.
The square of the amplitude gives the intensity of the wave. Intensity in case of sound is sensed as loudness and in case of light as brightness.
light is a photon wave, the color of the light depends on the length of the wave; as traveling is concerned, the density of water is greater and thus causes a beam divergence greater than in gas.
