Detailed explanation-1: -Solution: Electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal waves.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels. An example of longitudinal waves is compressions moving along a slinky. We can make a horizontal longitudinal wave by pushing and pulling the slinky horizontally.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, when a person performs a cartwheel they are rotating about the frontal axis. Longitudinal axis-this line runs from top to bottom through the centre of the body. For example, when a skater performs a spin they are rotating around the longitudinal axis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plane waves are a special case of waves where a physical quantity, such as phase, is constant over a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. There can be mechanical (both transverse and longitudinal) as well as EM plane waves.
