light wave
electromagnetic wave
longitudinal wave

Explanation:

• Transverse waves: Particles move perpendicular to wave direction (e.g., light waves).
• Light waves: A type of electromagnetic wave (transverse).
• Electromagnetic waves: Include light, radio waves (transverse).
• Longitudinal waves: Particles move parallel to wave direction. Sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back - and - forth (parallel to wave propagation).

Answer:

longitudinal wave
