No. They're electromagnetic waves.

Do mechanical waves have visible light?

yes


Is visible a longitudinal or transverse?

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.


Which type of light does the electromagnetic spectrum NOT contain?

The electromagnetic spectrum does not contain sound waves. It includes a range of electromagnetic waves, from radio waves to gamma rays, but does not include mechanical waves like sound.


Are the sun rays mechanical wves or electoromagnetic waves?

Sun rays are electromagnetic waves, specifically in the visible light range. They travel in a wave form and do not require a medium to propagate, distinguishing them from mechanical waves like sound waves that do need a medium.


How is light different than mechanical waves in terms of their propagation and behavior?

Light waves and mechanical waves differ in their propagation and behavior. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, while mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Light waves also travel at the speed of light, while mechanical waves travel at varying speeds depending on the medium. Additionally, light waves exhibit properties such as interference and diffraction, which are not typically seen in mechanical waves.


What are two different types of light waves?

Two different types of light waves are visible light waves and ultraviolet light waves. Visible light waves are the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can detect, while ultraviolet light waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light.


Are light waves considered to be mechanical in nature?

No, light waves are not considered to be mechanical in nature. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves.


What are Visible light waves?

exactly what you said its called visible light.


Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).


Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?

Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.


What is a visible form of energy?

visible light waves


Are visible light waves the same as sound waves?

No.
