How are the different types of electromagnetic waves organized?

Question

paki · Answer

We are surrounded by waves we can see and hear, from ocean waves to sound waves. A wave shows the transfer of energy, from the wind that starts an ocean wave to the sound that moves through the air to your ear drum. Waves that pass through a physical object or medium are called mechanical waves.

Unlike mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to travel or propagate through. Electric and magnetic fields both produce vibrations and, together, the two types of energy create electromagnetic waves.

Waves take different shapes, but electromagnetic waves all have a snake-like shape, which makes them transverse waves. 

others are radio waves.... microwaves... infrared waves... etc.....

Are referring to polarization? If so there are: Vertical polarization, Horizontal polarization, and non-linear such as circular (both left and right hand circular)  Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field.
