Electromagnetic waves don't come in different types. They are all the same physical
phenomenon, they all have the same speed in space, and they all exhibit the same
electrical and optical behavior.
Depending on their wavelength (frequency), we may call them radio, microwave, heat,
infrared, visible, ultraviolet, soft x-ray, hard x-ray, or gamma ray but these are all simply
different regions in the continuous distribution of the same phenomenon.

Radio Waves
Infered Waves
Visible Light
Micro Waves
X- Rays
If you want a complete list look up the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
False
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
How are different types of electromagnetic waves organized?
Electromagnetic waves have been classified as the mode of production differs from one to the other.
Electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves because they are?
..not reliant on any medium.
What are 6 different type of waves?
gamma rays,electromagnetic waves
