Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
What else can I help you with?
Why is light considered a wave?
Light is considered a wave because it exhibits properties of a wave, such as interference and diffraction, and can be described using wave equations.
Is light considered a electromagnetic wave?
Light is said to be of dual nature so it has particle nature as well as wave nature but there is a difference in waves and electromagnetic waves. so ,as for your question "Is light a electromagnetic wave" the answer is "no"More precisely, if visible is not an electromagnetic wave, the NO part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be considered to be an electromagnetic wave. By any definition of the term, the answer is 'Yes'
Is light considered to be a wave of a particle?
Light is considered to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior, depending on the experiment being performed. This is known as the wave-particle duality of light. In some experiments, light behaves more like a wave, while in others, it behaves more like a particle (photon).
How is light and sound alike?
Sound and light are alike when light is considered a wave. Light may also be considered a stream of particles, but in the times that it is considered a wave it obeys the same mathematical laws that sound does.
Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium?
Light can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, known as wave-particle duality. In the wave theory of light, light is considered an electromagnetic wave that can propagate through a vacuum without a medium. This is supported by experimental evidence such as the double-slit experiment and interference patterns.
Why is light considered a wave?
Light is considered a wave because it exhibits properties of a wave, such as interference and diffraction, and can be described using wave equations.
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
What is electromagnetic rays?
In old concepts light wave had been considered as light ray. Same way electromagnetic wave is considered as electromagnetic ray.
Is light considered to be a wave or a particle?
It has properties of both.
What kind of wave is an ultra violet ray?
An ultra violet (UV) ray is an electromagnetic wave, it is the same kind as visible light wave just with a different wavelength and frequency. Both travel and the speed of light. It is a transverse wave

What kind of waves produce light?
Light has the property of being an electromagnetic wave.
Does light energy move by elecromagnetic waves?
Light is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
Why X-ray did not in liquid?
Because it is light, a kind of wave.
