No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
Actually, waves on a rope are an example of transverse waves, not longitudinal waves. Light waves, on the other hand, are an example of electromagnetic waves, which are also transverse waves. Longitudinal waves involve particle displacement parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. This means that particles in transverse waves move up and down while particles in longitudinal waves move back and forth. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves, while light waves are examples of transverse waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
There are two types of waves: 1. Longitudinal wave e.g. Sound waves 2. Transverse wave e.g. light waves

No, light waves are not longitudinal waves. Light is an example of a transverse wave, like a wave moving across the surface of water. Sound or seismic waves are examples of longitudinal waves.

Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.

Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Non-examples of transverse waves include sound waves and ocean waves, which are both examples of longitudinal waves where the particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In contrast, transverse waves exhibit particle motion perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, such as in light waves or electromagnetic waves.
Light waves are transverse in nature.
