No. Sound waves are longitudinal. This means that the motion of the wave is back and forth in the same direction in which the wave is moving. With electromagnetic waves, electric force fields and magnetic force fields form mutually perpendicular sine waves, both perpendicular to the direction in which the wave propagates. Hence electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, not longitudinal.
I knew it. Thank you.
