Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The nature of electromagnetic waves is transverse. They can even move through a vacuum, proving that they don't require a medium to spread. Electromagnetic radiation is what we see. Without a medium, they can move around. Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves because they exhibit a longitudinal wave nature. For their spread, a medium is required. Thus, it can be said that, unlike light, sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
The correct statement would be that the sound waves are not like electromagnetic waves.
