Air is a gas.
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
Beach wave sounds are considered a form of mechanical wave, which is a type of wave that propagates through a medium (such as air or water) as a series of compressions and rarefactions. In the case of beach wave sounds, they are typically transmitted through air (gas) or water (liquid).
When light passes from air into a gas, its speed and direction may change depending on the properties of the gas. This change in speed and direction is known as refraction. Additionally, some of the light may be reflected back at the boundary between the air and gas, causing part of the light to bounce off.
Open path line of sight IR gas detectors work by emitting a beam of infrared light across an area, and then measuring the amount of light that is absorbed by gases in the path of the beam. When a gas is present in the path, it absorbs some of the infrared light, causing a decrease in the intensity of the beam. This decrease is detected by the sensor, which triggers an alarm to indicate the presence of the gas.

Transverse waves require a medium where the particles can move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In gases like air, the particles are widely spaced and do not have a well-defined restoring force to transmit transverse waves effectively. This lack of a strong inter-particle connection prevents transverse waves from travelling efficiently through air or gas mediums.
No, the wavelength of a light wave will not change as it moves from a gas into a liquid. The wavelength of light is determined by the material through which it is propagating, so it will remain constant unless the light enters a different medium with a different refractive index.
Usually air or water, but any gas or fluid will do, as well as many solids.
I'm afraid nothing happens to the speed of light ever. Also "air" is consider'd a gas.

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.
Objects that refract light include lenses, prisms, and water droplets. When light passes through these objects, its path is bent or altered due to the change in medium or the different angles of the surfaces.
