Light is an electromagnetic wave.
An ultra violet (UV) ray is an electromagnetic wave, it is the same kind as visible light wave just with a different wavelength and frequency. Both travel and the speed of light. It is a transverse wave
A sonic wave.
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
No, they travel at the same speed
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and can travel through vacuum. Examples include light waves, radio waves, and X-rays.
The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
As an electromagnetic wave.
Light travels in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
