There are many ways of classifying waves. One of those ways are by categorizing them by their ability or inability to transmit energy through a vacuum. The two categories are electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave, which has the ability to travel through a vacuum (empty space). Sound is a mechanical wave, it needs to travel through a medium (air, water, etc.) However, if you're looking for waves categorized by their wave length, they are (Going from shortest wavelength to longest.. Keep in mind, the shorter the wave length, the more energy it has): a) Gamma Rays b) X-Rays c) Ultra Violet Rays d) Visible Light e) Infrared f) Microwaves g) Radio Waves (p.s. These are electromagnetic waves)
