Question

what type of wave are electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, and infra - red waves? compression transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves like radio, microwaves, and infra - red waves are transverse waves. In transverse waves, the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For electromagnetic waves, the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. Compression waves (longitudinal waves) have particle displacement parallel to the wave direction, which is not the case for electromagnetic waves.

Answer:

Transverse
