Light is an electromagnetic wave. It's a form of electromagnetic radiation.
It is part of a great spectrum stretching from radio waves at the low frequency end, through microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma radiation, which is at the high frequency end.

What kind of wave does not need a medium through which to travel?
a light wave?
What kind of light travels in a straight line?
All light travels as a wave
What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What kind of wave is light considered?
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.
Which kind of wave requires a medium for propagation?
A Sound wave, water wave, earth quake wave. Electromagnetic waves (radio, light, etc.) do not require a medium for propagation.
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave does not need a medium through which to travel?
a light wave?
What kind of wave is an ultra violet ray?
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
What kind of waves produce light?
Light has the property of being an electromagnetic wave.
Does light energy move by elecromagnetic waves?
Light is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
What kind of light travels in a straight line?
All light travels as a wave
Why X-ray did not in liquid?
Because it is light, a kind of wave.
What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What kind of Wave is an electromagnetic wave how fast does it travel?
An electromagnetic wave is a wave with electric component and magnetic component. In free space (vacuum), an electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of light, that is 3x10^8 m/s. In fact, light is also an electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave is light considered?
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.
What kind of waves are sound and light?
Sound is a mechanical wave.Light is an electromagnetic wave.
