Some examples of mechanical waves are Sound, waves in a slinky, and water.

Mechanical waves need matter to move.

Some examples of electromagnetic waves are Radio, Gamma, X-rays, Infra-red, and Microwaves

Electromagnetic waves are able to travel through a medium of liquids, solids, and geaseous states,

or through space where there is no material at all, called "vacuum".

Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?

No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.


Which types of these waves is not a mechanical wave?

Examples of mechanical waves are waves in the ocean and sound waves from devices like mouths, trombones, and radios. Electromagnetic waves like sunshine and X-rays are not mechanical waves because matter is not doing the waving.
