Sound waves are transverse whereas light waves are longitudinal in nature. True or False

Question

Write true of false for the following statements: 

Sound waves are transverse whereas light waves are longitudinal in nature.

Answer 1

False 

Explanation: 

Sound waves are longitudinal waves. They propagate when the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth about their position of rest and do not move from one place to another. 

Light waves are transverse waves but the particles in oscillation are not of the medium as it is not a mechanical wave.
