Light waves can travel can travel in different ways depending on the object. It can travel through a vacuum which is a complete airless place, mirror, but sound has to travel through a solid or gas.
Nature: Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, while mechanical waves require a medium such as air, water, or solids. Speed: Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum), while the speed of mechanical waves depends on the medium through which they are traveling. Transmission: Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum and transparent substances, while mechanical waves cannot pass through vacuum and are often absorbed or reflected by obstacles. Properties: Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, while mechanical waves involve the vibration of particles in the medium through which they propagate.
Seismic waves can travel at varying speeds depending on the type of wave and the material they are traveling through. Primary (P) waves travel the fastest, at speeds of around 5-8 km/s in the Earth's crust, while Secondary (S) waves travel at about 60% of the speed of P-waves. Surface waves, which cause the most damage during an earthquake, travel at speeds of around 3-4 km/s.
I'm assuming by "waves" you mean "electromagnetic waves," since there are ocean waves and a few other waves that we can see too. We can also perceive sound waves, but cannot see them. The electromagnetic waves that we can see are called the "visibile lights." Their wavelength range from about 760 nm( 760*10^-9 m), bright red, to about 390 nm, bright violet. Their frequency range from about 4*10^14 Hz to 7.9*10^14 Hz, respectively. Infrared and Ultraviolet are NOT a part of visible light. No he means waves in the sea
Energy can be observed in the forms of light, heat, motion, and sound.
The speed of S-Waves in the Earth's crust is about 4-8 km/s. In 10 minutes, an S-Wave can travel a distance of approximately 24-48 kilometers.
4 forms
4 perhaps even 5
Ultraviolet light extends for quite a ways up the electromagnetic spectrum after visible violet ends. Its frequencies are higher. Wavelengths from 400nm to 50nm covering 4 groups of UV.
Electromagnetic. Or you might be looking for transverse.
microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared, visible light

Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.
light waves are produced by our star. they are electromagnetic waves. please explain.
4 important technological uses of light are RADIO WAVES,MICRO WAVES, SOLAR CELL,& LASER.
P-waves stand for primary waves, but a good trick is to think of the P as standing for pressure, because P waves are compression waves. S-wave stands for secondary wave, but the trick is to think of the S as standing for shear wave. This is because S-waves move in a shearing (side to side) motion. The means that S waves cannot travel through liquid, and also travel slower than P-waves.
In 4 years light will travel approx 23.5 trillion miles.
Ocean waves: These are created by the wind blowing across the surface of the ocean. Sound waves: These are vibrations that travel through a medium (such as air) and allow us to hear. Light waves: These are electromagnetic waves that allow us to see and come in different wavelengths. Seismic waves: These are waves generated by the movement of tectonic plates during an earthquake. Radio waves: These are used for communication and broadcasting and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
