What kind of wave is light considered?
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.
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.

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.

Is light considered static electricity?
Light is not electricity; it is an electromagnetic wave. It is anything but static; the speed of light is 186,000 miles/sec.

Is a rainbow a transverse or compression wave?
A rainbow is a phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light in water droplets in the atmosphere. It is not considered a wave, but rather a spectrum of light wavelengths that are visible to our eyes.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
How are sound and light different in terms of the waves?
A light wave is priamrily energy, unless you get in to real high-end physice, in which case you can consider a particle. The light wave, being considered energy, can be drawn with the wave amplitude at right abgles to the direction of tarvel, rather like a wave on the sea. A sound wave is a motion through the air (or other media), where the actual media travels. it is actually compressed, and the movement of particles is in the same direction (longitudinal) as the path of the waves. In most cases (for physics) they can actually be considered the same, and the same equations apply to most situations, regardless of if the wave is light, sound, or a wave on the sea.
