An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
Waves are often classified as transverse or longitudinal. The sideways vibrations of a string and the surface waves on water are a good examples of transverse waves. Sound waves in fluids (e.g. sound in air, sound traveling under water) are examples of longitudinal waves. In solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal waves.
longitudinal wave consists of particles that move parallel to the motion of the wave. longitudinal wave also known as "l-waves", are waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel, which means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as or the opposite direction to the motion of the wave.
Okay, it is very simple. The formula is: the velocity is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength. v= fλ the lambda is the wavelength. Using basic arithmetic, you can rearrange the equation to : λ= v/f There you go. That's how to find the wavelength

They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
A wave can be characterized by the following properties: its speed; frequency; wavelength; period; amplitude; whether it is longitudinal or transverse; its polarization; whether it is a mechanical, electromagnetic or other type of wave.
Light is a transverse wave
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
longitudinal wave consists of particles that move parallel to the motion of the wave. longitudinal wave also known as "l-waves", are waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel, which means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as or the opposite direction to the motion of the wave.

All the electro-magnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electromagnetic spectrum includes the following: * X-rays * Gamma rays * Ultraviolet rays * Infrared waves * Microwaves * Radio waves * Cosmic rays
