Yes I guess the question is related to the visible light. The visible light is transverse in nature. One more important point is that the light waves are not mechanical waves. Mecahnical waves do need a material medium to get traversed. Sound waves are mechanical waves. But light being non mechanical and being electromagnetic it can pass even through vacuum.

Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Is a gamma longitudinal or transverse?
Transverse
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Light is transverse in nature.
Is a water wave transverse or longitudinal?
Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water. Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.
What are transverse longitudinal?
Mechanical
Is a radio a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
its a transverse wave
Are sound waves longlitudanal?
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Are microwaves longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are therefore transverse waves.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
