Answer:

They are transverse and travel at the speed of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hertz has units of 1/second. Wavelength and frequency of a wave are related by the equation Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency, where the velocity is the speed of a wave peak as it passes a stationary point. For all electromagnetic waves (in a vacuum) the velocity = c, the speed of light.

HOPE THIS HELP YOU !!! ;))))))
